[Criminal behavior in frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease].
Review in Der Nervenarzt, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Criminal behavior in older people represents a rare phenomenon. Among older criminals there are many first offenders and 75% are men. Dementia poses one possible origin of delinquency in advanced age. It is unclear how often dementia is the actual cause of delinquency in older age. In studies with older criminals the prevalence of dementia was heterogeneous due to methodological study issues. In the course of the disease 50% of patients with frontotemporal dementia and 10% of patients with Alzheimer's disease commit crimes. The neurobiological origin of delinquency in dementia is poorly understood. On the basis of current study results first delinquency in older age can be explained by impairment of social cognition, difficulties in making appropriate emotional contributions and disturbed control of behavior. Affection of frontal and anterior temporal brain structures seem to be of high relevance. As dementia impairs criminal responsibility psychiatrists are confronted with a forensic evaluation of legal culpability of older criminals. Regarding different etiologies of dementia, specific peculiarities need to be considered in a forensic psychiatric assessment. Especially frontotemporal dementia predisposes towards a wide spectrum of criminal behavior whereas patients with Alzheimer's disease predominantly commit crimes due to cognitive impairment. The review summarizes the present knowledge about criminal behavior in the context of dementia.
