Neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptom clusters in frontotemporal dementia.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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: Non-Alzheimer's disease dementias, including frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can be difficult to characterize due to the predominance of distinct behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Widely used measurement tools lack structure and objectivity. Objective: The purpose of this study was to use systematic direct observation of neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms, via the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale (NBRS), to characterize clusters of behavioral and neuropsychiatric symptoms in FTD and examine how selected symptom clusters correlate with structural neuroimaging. Methods: We performed a factor analysis on the NBRS data from 172 patients with FTD and examined the neural correlates of the selected symptom clusters in a subsample of 67 patients. Results: Six factors accounted for 56% of total variance across NBRS item scores: Apathy/Blunting, Agitation/Disinhibition, Cognitive/Language, Planning/Insight, Anxiety/Lability, and Psychosis. Symptom clusters showed significant associations with specific regions of cortical thinning: Agitation/Disinhibition with bilateral frontal regions, and Cognition/Language with the left bank of the superior temporal sulcus and supramarginal regions. Conclusions: The selected symptom clusters associated with known regions of atrophy in FTD. The NBRS is an effective observational measure that may extend characterization and understanding of FTD.
