Electroencephalogram in dementia with Lewy bodies: a systematic review.
Synthesis in Aging clinical and experimental research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07375771 (Interventional Study to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation), which is not on this map. Cited by 10 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.

Abstract
Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) belongs to the spectrum of Lewy body dementia (LBD) that also encompasses Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD). It is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by memory decline, cognitive fluctuations, visual hallucinations, autonomic nervous system disturbance, REM sleep behavior disorder, and parkinsonism. Definite diagnosis can be established only through neuropathological confirmation of Lewy bodies' presence in brain tissue. Probable or possible diagnosis relies upon clinical features, imaging, polysomnography, and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings. Potential neurophysiological biomarkers for the diagnosis, management, and evaluation of treatment-response in DLB should be affordable and widely available outside academic centers. Increasing evidence supports the use of quantitative EEG (qEEG) as a potential DLB biomarker, with promising results in discriminating DLB from other dementias and in identifying subjects who are on the trajectory to develop DLB. Several studies evaluated the diagnostic value of EEG in DLB. Visual analysis and qEEG techniques have been implemented, showing a superiority of the last in terms of sensitivity and objectivity. In this systematic review, we attempt to provide a general synthesis of the current knowledge on EEG application in DLB. We review the findings from original studies and address the issues remaining to be further clarified.
