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

backgroundSemantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is typically a sporadic disorder, and few cases have been linked to ANXA11 mutations. Comprehensive analyses of genetic mutations in svPPA are limited. Furthermore, the clinical and genetic distinctions between typical svPPA and right temporal variant frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD) are poorly understood.

methodsA 68-year-old patient with svPPA carrying a heterozygous ANXA11 c.119A>G (p.D40G) mutation underwent comprehensive neuropsychological, neuroimaging, and genetic assessments at baseline and at the one-year follow-up timepoint. Additionally, systematic reviews were conducted to identify reported cases of ANXA11 mutations in the FTD spectrum and the genetic mutations associated with svPPA. Clinical-genetic profiles of typical svPPA and rtvFTD were compared based on data from the literature.

resultsThirty-two patients with ANXA11 mutations were identified, including 11 with pure FTD phenotypes and the majority exhibiting FTD-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Among 167 svPPA-related cases, MAPT, GRN, and C9ORF72 mutations were most frequently implicated; ANXA11 mutations were primarily identified in East Asian patients. Comparative analysis revealed overlapping age at onset, disease duration, sex distribution, and APOE ε4 allele frequencies between typical svPPA and rtvFTD but differing clinical presentations.

conclusionsThis study reports a case of typical svPPA in China associated with the ANXA11 p.D40G mutation without ALS-related features. Our findings highlight the importance of ANXA11 mutations in FTD pathogenesis.
