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

This study investigated the presence of combined pathologies in a large cohort of autopsies that show a primary pathologic diagnosis of phosphorylated 43-kDa TAR DNA-binding protein (FTLD-TDP), the majority of which portrayed clinical phenotypes consistent with primary progressive aphasia or behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Thirty-eight cases with FTLD-TDP (30 type-A and 8 type-C) were identified to determine characteristic differences between cases with and without combined pathologies. Findings indicated that combined pathologies co-occur with FTLD-TDP type-A at a high frequency (50%)-greater than when compared to FTLD-TDP type-C cases (12.5%). Those with FTLD-TDP type-A and combined pathologies showed significantly longer lifespans (p < 0.05), and longer disease durations (p < 0.05), than those with only FTLD-TDP type-A. Cases with FTLD-TDP type-A and known genetic mutations tended not to show combined pathology. Those with the GRN mutation and FTLD-TDP type-A showed a significantly younger age of onset (p < 0.05) and younger age at death (p < 0.01) compared to noncarriers. In 1 bvFTD case, we highlight the rare presence of "triple" FTLD-TDP type-A, FTLD-tau, and Alzheimer pathology. The ante- and post-mortem features associated with combined pathologies in FTLD-related disorders are of useful consideration in the stratification of patients to drug trials, and in the development of therapeutic targets for FTLD.
