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

Frontotemporal lobar dementia (FTLD) is a clinically and pathologically complex disease. Advances in neuroimaging techniques have provided a specialized set of tools to investigate underlying pathophysiology and identify clinical biomarkers that aid in diagnosis, prognostication, monitoring, and identification of appropriate endpoints in clinical trials. In this chapter, we review data discussing the utility of neuroimaging biomarkers in sporadic FTLD, with an emphasis on current and future clinical applications. Among those modalities readily utilized in clinical settings, T1-weighted structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) are best supported in differential diagnosis and as targets for clinical trial endpoints. However, a number of nonclinical neuroimaging modalities, including diffusion tensor imaging and resting-state functional connectivity MRI, show promise as biomarkers to predict progression and as clinical trial endpoints. Other neuroimaging modalities, including amyloid PET, Tau PET, and arterial spin labeling MRI, are also discussed, though more work is required to establish their utility in FTLD in clinical settings.
