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

Behavioral disinhibition is a core feature of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and occurs across related FTD-spectrum presentations. Serotonergic dysfunction may contribute to behavioral dysregulation; therefore, we primarily examined dorsal raphe (DR)-centered midbrain ¹²³I-FP-CIT uptake as an indirect extrastriatal signal that may partly reflect serotonin transporter-related binding. Because striatal dopaminergic circuits support reward learning, behavioral inhibition, and context-dependent behavioral updating, striatal uptake was examined exploratorily. This retrospective exploratory study included 21 patients within the FTD spectrum who underwent Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) assessment, magnetic resonance imaging, and ¹²³I-FP-CIT single-photon emission computed tomography within a 3-month window. The primary outcome was the NPI disinhibition score. DR-centered midbrain and striatal specific uptake ratios (SURs) were calculated using the cerebellum as the reference region. Age- and sex-adjusted quasi-Poisson models with a log link were fitted. DR-centered midbrain SUR was not significantly associated with disinhibition in the primary model (β = -1.027, p = 0.353). In the exploratory model, higher striatal SUR was nominally associated with lower disinhibition scores (β = -0.438, p = 0.022). The negative direction of the striatal association was generally preserved across sensitivity analyses, although nominal significance was not retained in all models. DR-centered midbrain SUR was not significantly associated with behavioral disinhibition in this small FTD-spectrum cohort. Lower striatal SUR showed a directionally consistent but sensitivity-dependent nominal association with greater disinhibition. This hypothesis-generating finding may reflect broader frontostriatal disease burden, striatal neurodegeneration, parkinsonian-spectrum overlap, or partial-volume effects and does not establish a disinhibition-specific dopaminergic mechanism.
