1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) often relies on informant reports of significant behavioral changes. "BvFTD-by-proxy" describes situations of neuropsychiatric changes reported solely by an informant under circumstances that may raise questions regarding their objectivity. We present three cases of bvFTD-like symptoms reported by spouses, where progression was unclear, testing showed mild but stable executive dysfunction, and neuroimaging was unremarkable. The subjective nature of bvFTD criteria leaves patients vulnerable to misleading informant reports, especially amid relational discord, and may threaten patient autonomy. Recognizing and managing this situation is critical but time-consuming, often requiring coordinated care across multiple providers.
