Find-DLB: a naturalistic cohort of patients presenting with clinical features of dementia with Lewy bodies to a specialized cognitive clinic.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07629349 (Dementia With Lewy Bodies), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
purposeDementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) is a common neurodegenerative disorder, yet difficult to diagnose. Carefully selected research cohorts may not represent the clinical reality. We aimed to characterize a naturalistic cohort of patients with clinical features of DLB, reporting their final diagnosis, clinical features, and cognitive profile.
methodsPatients were recruited from a specialized cognitive clinic. Data from patient visits such as core clinical features, biomarkers, cognitive screening, and neuropsychological assessment were collected from health records. We used normative data to assess distribution of impairment in patients with DLB and Parkinson's disease (PD) with and without dementia.
resultsA total of 143 patients were included in the cohort. Following specialized dementia evaluation, 88 patients fulfilled clinical criteria for DLB, 35 patients for PD with dementia (PDD), 14 had mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and the remaining 6 patients had other types of dementia. Parkinsonism was the most common core clinical feature (87%), followed by visual hallucinations (65%), cognitive fluctuations (52%) and, lastly, probable REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD, 47%). A majority of DLB patients had cognitive impairment on visuospatial constructive, attentional and executive tasks, and visual memory.
conclusionsThe differential diagnosis of DLB may be difficult within a clinical context because other cognitive disorders frequently present with core features of DLB. The cognitive profile and frequency of core clinical features in the DLB group were generally in line with previous reports. Probable RBD was lower than in other cohorts, which may reflect challenges in collecting this information in a clinical interview.
