1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 61-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to memory difficulties, visual hallucinations, and slowly progressing motor difficulties in the limbs. A clinical examination revealed bradykinesia, gait disturbance, left-side-dominant rigidity, ideomotor apraxia, dressing apraxia, left-sided spatial agnosia, impaired visuospatial ability, and executive dysfunction. Her symptoms were unresponsive to levodopa, and corticobasal syndrome (CBS) was diagnosed. One year later, amyloid positron emission tomography revealed amyloid beta accumulation in the bilateral cerebral cortices; at this point, CBS with underlying Alzheimer's disease pathology (CBS-AD) was diagnosed. Visual hallucinations may help differentiate CBS with corticobasal degeneration (CBS-CBD) from other pathologies, including CBS-AD.
