Is the clinical phenotype impact the prognosis in dementia with Lewy bodies?
Article in Alzheimer's research & therapy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
introductionThe first predominant clinical symptoms of dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) are highly variable; however, the prognosis based on initial predominant symptoms remains poorly understood.
methodsMulticenter retrospective study in 4 French expert neurological centers. Patients were categorized in 3 groups according to their first more predominant symptoms: cognitive, psychiatric, or motor.
resultsAnalysis of 310 DLB patients. The mean age was 73.5 years old (SD 7.5) including 32.3% of women. The mean follow-up was 7.25 years (SD 3.6). We observed that the full clinical picture was more frequent in the motor group than in the cognitive group (p = 0.01); male gender and age at onset were associated with a significant excess risk of instantaneous mortality (p = 0.01).
conclusionInitial symptoms may affect the clinical course of patients, but no significant difference in mortality was observed.
