The influence of bilingualism on the assessment and treatment of an Italian-English speaker with the logopenic variant of PPA.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionThe impact of bilingualism on speech-language assessment and therapy in primary progressive aphasia (PPA) remains underexplored, despite its suggested influence on disease presentation.
methodsA bilingual Italian (L1)-English (L2) individual with logopenic-variant PPA completed a bilingual assessment as well as dual-language lexical retrieval therapy (LRT). His bilingual experience was characterized in detail, and therapy outcomes were evaluated within and across languages.
resultsPre-morbidly, the patient was a relatively balanced bilingual individual with stronger L1 literacy. Following disease onset, L2 showed faster decline, whereas L1 remained stable. Age at acquisition, dominance, and language use were among the main factors contributing to his language maintenance and decline. Therapy yielded relatively equivalent item-specific gains in both languages (L1 DISCUSSION: Findings support the relevance of in-depth bilingual assessment and therapy to guarantee successful treatment in PPA, unveiling the relevance of bilingual experience in shaping treatment outcomes.
