Executive Profile of the Logopenic Variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia: Comparison with the Semantic and Non-Fluent Variants and Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in Brain sciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
The logopenic variant of primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) shows different features from the non-fluent (nfvPPA) and semantic (svPPA) variants of PPA. Although language impairments remain the core symptoms, studies have highlighted the presence of executive disorders at the onset of the disease. Nevertheless, the results are contradictory, particularly in lvPPA. The aim of this study was to explore the executive profile of lvPPA. We compared executive functioning in lvPPA with the other two variants of PPA, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and a cognitively healthy group. In total, 70 patients with PPA, 32 patients with AD, and 41 healthy controls were included. They underwent a comprehensive executive battery assessing short-term and working memory, inhibition, flexibility, planning, and initiation. The analyses showed significant differences between the lvPPA group and the control group, except on visuospatial spans and the Stroop test, and between the lvPPA group and the other PPA groups and the AD group for several tasks. Thus, this research highlighted the existence of an executive dysfunction from the onset of the disease in lvPPA but also in the other two variants of PPA.
