Functional connectivity in Lewy body disease with visual hallucinations.
Article in European journal of neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
background and purposeVisual hallucinations are a common, potentially distressing experience of people with Lewy body disease (LBD). The underlying brain changes giving rise to visual hallucinations are not fully understood, although previous models have posited that alterations in the connectivity between brain regions involved in attention and visual processing are critical.
methodsData from 41 people with LBD and visual hallucinations, 48 with LBD without visual hallucinations and 60 similarly aged healthy comparator participants were used. Connections were investigated between regions in the visual cortex and ventral attention, dorsal attention and default mode networks.
resultsParticipants with visual hallucinations had worse cognition and motor function than those without visual hallucinations. In those with visual hallucinations, reduced functional connectivity within the ventral attention network and from the visual to default mode network was found. Connectivity strength between the visual and default mode network correlated with the number of correct responses on a pareidolia task, and connectivity within the ventral attention network with visuospatial performance.
conclusionsOur results add to evidence of dysfunctional connectivity in the visual and attentional networks in those with LBD and visual hallucinations.
