Exploring neuropsychiatric and behavioral symptoms, and social cognitive deficits in the differential diagnosis of behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia and primary psychiatric disorders: A systematic literature review.
Review in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
The clinical overlap between behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and primary psychiatric disorders (PPD) often results in delayed and incorrect diagnoses. We performed a literature review of 16 studies to evaluate how neuropsychiatric, behavioral, and social cognitive symptoms can aid in distinguishing bvFTD from PPD during early clinical assessment. Our study revealed differences in symptom profile and trajectory in the two diseases. Apathy, disinhibition, and compulsions were more likely to progress in bvFTD, while often remaining stable or improving in PPD. Changes in eating behavior and inappropriate social conduct, and emotion recognition, socioemotional sensitivity, and theory-of-mind impairments were more severe in bvFTD than in PPD. Although differential diagnosis can be challenging, studying the profile and progression of neuropsychiatric, behavioral, and social cognitive symptoms in bvFTD and PDD offers valuable diagnostic clues. Implementing structured tools and targeted assessments may improve differential diagnosis, ultimately guiding more appropriate treatment strategies.
