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

IntroductionDelusions are common in Lewy body disease (LBD), significantly impacting quality of life. This study examined clinical factors, characteristics and themes associated with delusions in LBD.MethodsClinical and demographic factors were compared between 91 individuals attending St. James's Hospital in Ireland with LBD both with and without delusions. Clinical scales include the Clinical Dementia Rating Scale (CDR), Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Evaluation (ACE-III), and Neuropsychiatric Inventory-12 (NPI-12). Themes of delusions extracted from clinical descriptions were mapped onto a typology from primary psychiatric populations.ResultsIndividuals with delusions were older, had higher CDR and ESS scores, lower ACE-III performance, higher scores on the NPI-12, and demonstrated cognitive impairment at the MCI or dementia level. Misidentification delusions were most common, followed by delusions of "being harmed, attacked, or killed" and "residence is not their home".ConclusionThese findings suggest delusions are related to disease stage, sleep, distinct cognitive and neuropsychiatric patterns, and follow a unique thematic typology.
