Role of Positron Emission Tomography as a Biologic Marker in the Diagnosis of Primary Progressive Aphasia: Two Case Reports.

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
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a heterogenous neurodegenerative disorder characterized by declining language and speech ability. Various underlying neuropathologies can induce PPA, and the disorder is divided into three subtypes-progressive non-fluent aphasia, semantic variant aphasia, and logopenic aphasia-according to clinical features. Accurate disease classification and prediction of underlying diseases are necessary for appropriate treatment, but proper use of imaging tests is important because clinical information alone often makes it difficult to make accurate decisions. Because there is a characteristic metabolic pattern according to the subtypes, F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (PET) can indicate subtype classification. In addition, PET studies for imaging amyloid or dopamine transporters play an important role in demonstrating underlying disease. The present case showed that PET imaging studies are useful in diagnosis and could be used as a biomarker in PPA.
