Article in Journal of neurology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. It is linked to trial NCT05769972 (Randomized, Single-blind Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy of Cognitive Rehabilitation Using Inmersive Virtual Reality and Computer-based Cognitive Stimulation Versus Music Therapy on Cognitive Impairment Associated With Movement Disorders), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundCognitive impairment is an essential feature of Huntington's disease (HD) and dementia is a predictable outcome in all patients. However, validated instruments to assess global cognitive performance in the field of HD are lacking.

objectivesWe aimed to explore the utility of the Parkinson's disease-Cognitive Rating Scale (PD-CRS) for the screening of global cognition in HD.

methodsA multicenter cohort of 132 HD patients at different disease stages and 33 matched healthy controls were classified as having preserved cognition, mild cognitive impairment (HD-MCI) or dementia (HD-Dem) according to the Clinical Dementia Rating and Functional Independence Score. The PD-CRS and the Mini-Mental State Examination were administered. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to determine optimal cutoffs to differentiate patients according to their cognitive status.

resultsA PD-CRS cutoff score ≤ 81/82 was optimal to detect HD-MCI (sensitivity = 93%; specificity = 80%; area under the curve (AUC) = 0.940), and ≤ 63/64 was optimal to detect HD-Dem (sensitivity = 90%; specificity = 87%; AUC = 0.933). MMSE scores failed to show robust psychometric properties in this context. DISCUSSION: The PD-CRS is a valid and reliable instrument to assess global cognition in HD in routine clinical care and clinical trials.
