The impact of sex on clinical profiles of patients with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
introductionSex differences in behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) remain understudied, especially when controlling for sex differences already existing in the general population.
methodsClinical features were analyzed in 620 bvFTD participants. Sex-diagnosis interactions were examined in 1029 bvFTD and 1029 healthy control (HC) participants for neuropsychiatric symptoms, and in 1109 bvFTD and 1109 HC participants for cognitive, behavioral, and language measures.
resultsMales with bvFTD showed greater-than-expected loss of empathy and nighttime behavioral symptoms relative to females, based on sex-by-diagnosis interactions. They also exhibited higher-than-expected punishment sensitivity. In contrast, females with bvFTD showed greater-than-expected impairments in semantic fluency and picture naming relative to HC females. DISCUSSION: Findings reveal that males with bvFTD present with more prominent behavioral disturbances, while females with bvFTD experience greater language impairments. This work is an important step toward integrating social determinants of health, such as sex, into the diagnostic and care paradigms for bvFTD. HIGHLIGHTS: Males with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) show more empathy loss and nighttime behavioral symptoms Females with bvFTD have greater deficits in naming and semantic fluency Findings support including sex in diagnostic and care models for bvFTD.
