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

introductionLogopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is a language-led presentation of Alzheimer's disease that is easily overlooked in older patients with vascular and systemic comorbidities. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a 78-year-old right-handed Asian woman with hypertension, diabetes, hepatic cirrhosis, and coronary artery disease who developed insidious word-finding difficulty progressing to severe anomia, impaired sentence repetition, and multidomain cognitive decline. Serial Indonesian MMSE, MoCA-Ina, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD), and Tes Afasia untuk Diagnosis, Informasi, dan Rehabilitasi (TADIR) assessments showed early amnestic and executive deficits followed by dominant phonological and naming impairment, while MRI revealed left-predominant temporo-parietal and medial temporal atrophy with small-vessel white matter disease, consistent with mixed Alzheimer and vascular pathology. She received donepezil, low-dose clobazam, and targeted speech-language and cognitive rehabilitation with partial symptomatic benefit.

conclusionThis case highlights the importance of detailed language assessment and culturally adapted neuropsychological batteries to identify lvPPA within mixed dementia in resource-limited settings.
