Auditory Hallucinations as the First Symptom of Alzheimer´s Disease - A Case Report.
Article in Current Alzheimer research, 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
introductionNeuropsychiatric symptoms frequently occur in patients with Alzheimer´s disease (AD); apathy, depression, delusions, optical hallucinations, anxiety, and agitation often appear as first symptoms of AD, while auditory hallucinations have never been described as the first symptom. In this case report, we describe a case of a woman who had auditory hallucinations as the first symptom of AD. CASE PRESENTATION: An 85-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital suffering from imperative auditory hallucinations without subjective and minimal objective memory complaints. Further diagnostics with an MRI scan, neuropsychological tests, and an analysis of cerebral spinal fluid were accomplished. AD was confirmed during the hospital stay, suggesting auditory hallucinations as the first symptom of AD. She was temporarily treated with risperidone, which improved the hallucinations.
conclusionAuditory hallucinations in older age could be the first symptom of AD and even occur before cognitive decline.
