Supporting frontline staff in frontotemporal degeneration research.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Introduction: Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) serve as the frontline staff for research participants in studies on frontotemporal degeneration (FTD), directly influencing participant experience. The training adequacy, job satisfaction, and retention of FTD CRCs have not been systematically examined. Methods: The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) administered an anonymous cross-sectional online survey to CRCs affiliated with research networks across the USA and Canada. Results: Thirty-seven CRCs responded. Most had more than 3 years of experience, yet 62% reported encountering situations for which they felt inadequately prepared. Information on genetics, symptom management, and brain donation were identified as critical training gaps. Retention was linked to competitive pay and clear career advancement opportunities. Discussion: The findings highlight a critical need for formalized, disease-specific onboarding and emotional support systems tailored to CRCs that engage with FTD patients and families. AFTD is developing a modular training curriculum to standardize CRC competency.
