Quantitative and qualitative features of executive dysfunction in frontotemporal and Alzheimer's dementia.
Article in Applied neuropsychology. Adult. 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
Behavioral variant fronto-temporal degeneration (bvFTD) is typically distinguished from Alzheimer's disease (AD) by early, prominent dysexecutive findings, in addition to other clinical features. However, differences in executive functioning between these groups are not consistently found. The current study sought to investigate quantitative and qualitative differences in executive functioning between those with bvFTD and AD in a large sample, while controlling for dementia severity and demographic variables. Secondary data analyses were completed on a subset of cases from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center collected from 36 Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers and consisting of 1,577 individuals with AD and 406 individuals with bvFTD. Groups were compared on 1) ability to complete three commonly administered executive tasks (letter fluency, Trail Making Test Part B [TMTB], and digits backward); 2) quantitative test performance; and 3) errors on these tasks. Findings suggested that individuals with bvFTD were less likely to complete letter fluency,
