Frontotemporal Dementia: Dilemma in Discrimination From Similarly Presenting Neurological and Psychiatric Conditions.
Article in Cureus, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is the most common cause of neurocognitive decline, second to Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Lewy body dementia. Its presence offers a unique challenge to physicians trying to detect cognitive deficits, as it not only arises in middle age but also can be misdiagnosed as a primary psychiatric disorder. The following case describes the clinical course of a 50-year-old male with a recent history of sporadic visual and auditory hallucinations, followed by a gradual decline in cognitive function including declining memory, apathy and behavioral disinhibition, and social functioning, which are suggestive of FTD-type. Apart from the gradual decline of his cognitive function, the patient had multiple clinical encounters, during which he was misdiagnosed with schizophrenia. Furthermore, the report showcases the handful of conditions that FTD can be misdiagnosed and discusses the thorough clinical/psychological examination and investigations to be done to arrive at FTD.
