The prevalence and co-incidence of geriatric syndromes in older patients with early-stage Alzheimer's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.

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
This study was aimed to compare early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), the two most common types of dementia in the elderly, in terms of the prevalence of geriatric syndromes. Patients with early-stage dementia with DLB and AD were included, and were questioned in terms of geriatric syndromes including polypharmacy, malnutrition, frailty, sarcopenia, dynapenia, orthostatic hypotension (OH), urinary and fecal incontinence, falls, fear of falling (FoF), depression, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness, pressure ulcers. Of the 82 patients, 31 had DLB and 51 had AD. The mean age was 80.99 ± 7.01, and 69.5% was female. The presence of OH, FoF, depression, and insomnia were more common in the DLB than AD (p < 0.05). 90.3% of patients with DLB and 54.9% of patients with AD had ≥ 3 geriatric syndromes simultaneously. The presence and co-incidence of geriatric syndromes is common in patients with even early-stage DLB and AD.
