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.

2 · The registry

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

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurological syndrome characterized by progressive language impairment. Various neurodegenerative disorders cause PPA. Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is one known cause of PPA, and little is known about this association. Almost all published cases of PPA associated with DLB are the logopenic variant of PPA. Here, we describe the novel case of a patient with DLB presenting clinical features of the semantic variant PPA (svPPA). A 75-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with a 2-year history of progressive anomia and amnesia. Two months before admission, she had been experiencing visual hallucinations, and at the age of 60 years, she had venous infarction in the left temporal lobe, which she recovered from without any residual symptoms. Upon admission to our hospital, she displayed anomia, impaired single-word comprehension, and surface dyslexia with preserved repetition and speech production. These symptoms met the criteria for the diagnosis of svPPA.
