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

backgroundChanges in financial judgement and skills can herald a neurodegenerative dementia and are a common reason for referral for cognitive neurologic assessment. However, patients with neurodegenerative diseases affecting the frontal or temporal lobes may perform well on standard cognitive tests, complicating clinical determinations about their diagnosis and financial capacity.

methodsForty-five patients with possible or probable FTD or Alzheimer's disease and 22 healthy controls completed two financial assessment batteries, the FACT and the FCAI. Patients' performance was compared to study partner estimates of patients' financial abilities.

resultsAll three patient groups performed worse than controls on both the FACT and the FCAI. Study partners over-estimated the performance of patients with Alzheimer's disease.

conclusionsThese initial findings suggest that accurate clinical assessment of financial skills and judgement in patients with possible neurodegenerative dementias requires performance-based assessment.
