Continuous At-Home Monitoring of Nighttime Bed Behavior in Frontotemporal Dementia.
Article in Neurology open access, 2026. 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
Background and Objectives: Sleep and circadian disturbances are common yet understudied in frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Advances in non-invasive digital monitoring technology enable capture of real-time objective nighttime behaviors in naturalistic settings. We examined feasibility and utility of an unobtrusive, under-the-mattress sensor to monitor long-term bed behaviors in a sample of adults with FTD and their study partners. Methods: This longitudinal observational study continuously monitored bed behaviors in participants with FTD recruited from the ALLFTD study for up to two years using an Emfit Results: Participants were 16 adults with FTD (mean age = 67; 69% male) and 12 study partner comparators (mean age = 62; 33% male). At baseline, participants with FTD had higher average durations in bed ( Discussion: Findings demonstrate the feasibility of long-term, non-invasive nighttime behavior monitoring using bed sensors, highlighting their utility to monitor disease progression in FTD with potential to detect person-specific changes and assess treatment effects. Further research is needed to explore underlying mechanisms of sleep disturbances in FTD and develop targeted interventions to improve sleep and subsequent quality of life for individuals with FTD.
