Weight Change and Neuropsychiatric Symptoms in Alzheimer's Disease and Frontotemporal Dementia: Associations with Cognitive Decline.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Weight changes, neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), and cognitive decline often coincide in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD); however, the direction of their relationship remains unclear. This study aims to clarify the connection between weight changes, NPS, and cognition in AD and FTD. We found that cognitive decline was associated with decreased body mass index (BMI) in AD, while BMI gain was associated with increased conversion to FTD. Elevated NPS were associated with decreased BMI in AD and increased BMI in FTD. Identifying early changes in NPS and BMI may facilitate the detection of cognitive decline, providing an opportunity for early intervention.
