Perception of emotions in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's dementia: does intensity matter?
Review in Translational neuroscience, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo provide a review of the literature on the perception of emotion in Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and Mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and to evaluate if emotion intensity matters. METHODOLOGY: A systematic literature search of PubMed database was carried out using combinations or truncated versions of the keywords "MCI", "Alzheimer", "emotion recognition", "facial emotion recognition", "social cognition" or "emotion perception". Twenty-eight articles were found to meet the inclusion criteria.
resultsOverall, AD patients performed worse on emotion perception than MCI patients and healthy controls. Half of the studies found an emotion-specific deficit for MCI patients on the emotions anger, sadness and fear. However, studies taking emotion intensity into account are still scarce.
conclusionsAn emotion-intensity based approach may be more sensitive to detect subtle impairments in facial emotion recognition. Future studies need to take emotion intensity into account and also consider confounding factors such as overall cognition and mood.
