Service use, healthcare costs and productivity losses of functional cognitive disorder in a sample of attenders to out-patient cognitive, neurology and memory clinics.
Article in BJPsych open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPeople with functional disorders often receive high levels of healthcare resource use yet have poor outcomes. The health service costs and productivity losses of functional cognitive disorders (FCD) is unknown.
aimsThis study aims to report the cost to health services and productivity losses of FCD.
methodExamination of healthcare service use and productivity losses in a sample of individuals with FCD who had attended a specialist out-patient clinic in south London.
resultsThe findings revealed high rates of healthcare use, including frequent contact with general practitioners, psychologists and hospital services, as well as work absences. The total estimated cost of healthcare and productivity losses per individual over 6 months was £1114.
conclusionsThese results highlight the need for effective and efficient diagnostic pathways, targeted and effective interventions, and improved support for individuals with FCD.
