Blood-brain barrier breakdown in dementia with Lewy bodies.

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
backgroundBlood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction has been viewed as a potential underlying mechanism of neurodegenerative disorders, possibly involved in the pathogenesis and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, a relation between BBB dysfunction and dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) has yet to be systematically investigated. Given the overlapping clinical features and neuropathology of AD and DLB, we sought to evaluate BBB permeability in the context of DLB and determine its association with plasma amyloid-β (Aβ) using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI).
methodsFor this prospective study, we examined healthy controls (n = 24, HC group) and patients diagnosed with AD (n = 29) or DLB (n = 20) between December 2020 and April 2022. Based on DCE-MRI studies, mean rates of contrast agent transfer from intra- to extravascular spaces (K

conclusionBBB leakage is a common feature of DLB and possibly is even more severe than in the setting of AD for certain regions of the brain. BBB leakage appears to correlate with plasma Aβ1-42/Aβ1-40 ratio and dementia severity.
