1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) is a heterogeneous disease characterized by four core clinical features: visual hallucinations, REM sleep behaviour disorder (RBD), cognitive fluctuations and Parkinsonism. We study the relationship between these features and functional connectivity from high-density electroencephalographic data of 33 subjects with early-stage DLB and 21 healthy controls. We used two connectivity metrics averaged on the individual theta and alpha bands, defined by determining the individual theta-to-alpha transition frequency through the package transfreq. After showing that DLB determines a shift toward lower frequencies of posterior dominant rhythm and theta-alpha transition, we used Network Based Statistics to explore differential connectivity networks between subgroups of DLB patients with different features. We found that both visual hallucinations and RBD are associated with increased connectivity in early DLB patients mostly in the left hemisphere, while cognitive fluctuations and Parkinsonism appear to have a non-significant impact on functional connectivity metrics in our population.
