Article in Neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesIdiopathic/isolated REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is associated with dementia with Lewy bodies and Parkinson disease. Despite evidence of abnormal cerebral perfusion in iRBD, there is currently no pattern that can predict whether an individual will develop dementia with Lewy bodies or Parkinson disease. The objective was to identify a perfusion signature associated with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies in iRBD.
methodsPatients with iRBD underwent video-polysomnography, neurologic and neuropsychological assessments, and baseline
resultsOf the 137 participants, 93 underwent SPECT processing, namely 52 patients with iRBD (67.9 years, 73% men), 19 patients with Parkinson disease (67.3 years, 37% men), and 22 controls (67.0 years, 73% men). Of the 47 patients with iRBD followed up longitudinally (4.5 years), 12 (26%) developed a manifest synucleinopathy (4 dementia with Lewy bodies and 8 Parkinson disease). Analysis revealed 2 latent variables between relative blood flow and clinical features: the first was associated with a broad set of features that included motor, cognitive, and perceptual variables, age, and sex; the second was mostly associated with cognitive features and RBD duration. When brought back into the patient's space, the expression of the first variable was associated with conversion to a manifest synucleinopathy, whereas the second was associated with conversion to dementia with Lewy bodies. The expression of the patterns changed over time and was associated with worse motor features. DISCUSSION: This study identified a brain perfusion signature associated with cognitive impairment in iRBD and transition to dementia with Lewy bodies. This signature, which can be derived from individual scans, has the potential to be developed into a biomarker that predicts dementia with Lewy bodies in at-risk individuals.
