Valence as principal dimension of the semantic space in primary progressive aphasia semantic variant.
Article in Brain communications, 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
Previous studies of the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia have determined which word features render single words more vulnerable. Here, we applied a graph-based approach and modelled the pathological changes at the network level. In healthy individuals, the two principal dimensions for the organization of the word meaning network are concreteness and valence. Ten semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia cases (mean age 66 years, 6 female, Clinical Dementia Rating: 3 patients = 0; 6 patients = 0.5; 1 patient = 1) participated as well as 79 matched controls. A set of 32 words were selected a priori to cover a broad range of valence and concreteness. In a triad judgement task (total of 192 trials), three words were presented on the screen at the corners of a triangle. Participants had to select which word pair was most closely associated in meaning. Responses were analysed using multidimensional Bayesian scaling. In controls, the first principal dimension was determined by word concreteness (β = 0.39,
