A novel method for objective quantification of apathy based on gaze and physiological reactivity to stimuli presented in a virtual reality environment.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
introductionWe developed a tool for objective quantification of apathy.
methodsParticipants (
resultsThe sample comprised 14 participants with apathy only, 9 with depression only, 10 with both, 63 with neither, and 1 with missing data. For all emotional stimuli, participants with apathy only showed longer TTFF ( DISCUSSION: Apathy is associated with decreased gaze engagement at emotional stimuli. Highlights: Apathy measurement via questionnaires is limited by subjectivity biases.Apathy measurement via questionnaires is limited by simplistic scoring.We present a novel method for objective measurement of apathy.Gaze characteristics reflect the emotional and cognitive components of apathy.
