Identification of Dementia With Lewy Bodies by Skin Biopsy in Recent-Onset Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Annals of clinical and translational neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Immunofluorescence for phosphorylated alpha-synuclein in skin biopsy samples is an emerging biomarker in synucleinopathies comprising Dementia with Lewy bodies. In this pilot study, 19 patients with recent-onset (≤ 18 months) cognitive impairment underwent skin biopsy at baseline, with follow-up clinical re-evaluation. Five patients fulfilled the Dementia with Lewy bodies diagnosis, all of them positive for skin phosphorylated alpha-synuclein. The remaining 14 patients were all negative. Skin tissue immunofluorescence may represent a promising technique in identifying synuclein pathology in recent-onset cognitive decline: larger cohorts are needed to confirm our preliminary data.
