Lexical Retrieval or Semantic Knowledge? Which One Causes Naming Errors in Patients with Mild and Moderate Alzheimer's Disease?
Article in Dementia and geriatric cognitive disorders extra. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
backgroundThe purpose of the study was to analyze naming errors in patients with Alz-heimer's disease in comparison to healthy subjects and determine the underlying cause of naming errors in these patients.
methodIn this study, we included 35 healthy elderly subjects, 23 patients with mild Alzheimer's disease, and 23 with moderate Alzheimer's disease. Forty-five images were used to determine the type of naming errors, and to identify the underlying cause of errors, matching an image with a written word was used.
resultsPatients with Alz-heimer's disease had more naming errors compared with the group of healthy elderly, and patients with moderate Alzheimer's disease showed a slower reaction in matching an image with a written word.
conclusionAnomia in the initial phase of Alzheimer's disease is due to problems in lexical retrieval; however, as the disease advances, in addition to lexical retrieval problems, conceptual knowledge causes naming problems.
