AI-powered analysis of affective dimensions in speech and its relevance for FTD diagnosis.
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. 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
introductionAffective disturbances are common across behavioral variant frontotemporal degeneration (bvFTD), primary psychiatric disorders (PPD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Objective markers are needed for differential and transdiagnostic characterization. We tested whether artificial intelligence (AI)-based analysis of natural speech could provide such markers.
methodsSpeech from 112 participants (bvFTD = 31, AD = 28, PPD = 15, controls = 39) was analyzed using a fine-tuned speech emotion recognition model estimating valence, arousal, dominance, and entropy. Group differences were assessed with analyses of covariance, diagnostic utility with logistic regression, and neuroanatomical correlates with voxel-based morphometry.
resultsGroup-specific affective profiles emerged. Overall, PPD exhibited a lower valence. bvFTD and AD showed a reduced arousal and a higher dominance. Affective dimensions predicted bvFTD with 80.4% accuracy (area under the curve = 0.732) and mapped onto fronto-insular and temporal networks. Entropy was identified as a transdiagnostic marker. DISCUSSION: AI-based speech analysis provides objective, scalable biomarkers for differential diagnosis, transdiagnostic characterization, and disease monitoring.
