Acute presentation of dementia with Lewy bodies.
Review in Clinical medicine (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Acute presentations for dementia, particularly dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), are rare and can pose diagnostic challenges.We present a case of a 75-year-old woman who was previously fit, well and independent in all activities of daily living. She had no history of psychiatric, cognitive or memory problems. She presented with 2 weeks of sudden onset confusion, paranoia, dizziness and reduced oral intake. Thorough investigations for causes of delirium including blood tests, cerebrospinal fluid analysis obtained via lumbar puncture, electroencephalography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were within normal limits. Further neurological examination demonstrated she had subtle Parkinsonian signs (cogwheel rigidity, bradykinesia) and was hypersensitive to small doses of antipsychotic (haloperidol and risperidone). A positive dopamine transporter scan was done confirming a diagnosis of an acute presentation of DLB. She has been commenced on a cholinesterase inhibitor (rivastigmine) and is presently settled in care.
