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 dementia (FTD) represents a cluster of adult-onset neurodegenerative diseases resulting from a combination of genetic and epigenetic factors. Currently, treatment is symptomatic and there are no licensed disease-modifying therapies available. The aim of this review was to provide an overview of ongoing or recently completed clinical studies targeting disease modification in FTD. A structured search of interventional trials of pharmacological compounds was conducted on three clinical trial registries (National Library of Medicine Clinical Trials, European Union Clinical Trials, and the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials registries) up to September 2025. Twelve interventional trials were found. Half targeted autosomal-dominant progranulin (GRN) mutations (
