Balance Impairments as Differential Markers of Dementia Disease Subtype.
Article in Frontiers in bioengineering and biotechnology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
backgroundAccurately differentiating dementia subtypes, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body disease [including dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD)] is important to ensure appropriate management and treatment of the disease. Similarities in clinical presentation create difficulties for differential diagnosis. Simple supportive markers, such as balance assessments, may be useful to the diagnostic toolkit. This study aimed to identify differences in balance impairments between different dementia disease subtypes and normal aging using a single triaxial accelerometer.
methodsNinety-seven participants were recruited, forming four groups: cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer's disease (AD group;
resultsThe PDD group demonstrated higher RMS [combined ( DISCUSSION: Although feasible and quick to conduct, key findings suggest that an accelerometer-based balance during quiet standing does not differentiate dementia disease subtypes accurately. Assessments that challenge balance more, such as gait or standing with eyes closed, may prove more effective to support differential diagnosis.
