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
backgroundLewy body diseases (LBD) collectively share α-synuclein Lewy pathology, yet present wide clinical heterogeneity, with overlapping motor and non-motor features and progression patterns that challenge traditional diagnostic boundaries.
methodsTo resolve this spatiotemporal heterogeneity at the biological level, we applied a data-driven atrophy progression framework to MRI data from 833 individuals across Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, and prodromal isolated REM sleep behaviour disorder using the Subtype and Stage Inference algorithm.
findingsFour transdiagnostic subtypes (A: Early cortico-limbic/late basal ganglia, B: Early basal ganglia/late limbic, C: Early temporo-limbic/late basal ganglia, and D: Early basal ganglia-cingulate/late cortex) emerged, each defined by a distinct spatiotemporal progression of atrophy that explained cognitive, motor, and psychiatric variability. An early cortico-limbic/late basal ganglia subtype represented a dementia-prone subtype across clinical diagnoses, with limbic involvement associating with the emergence of visual hallucinations.
interpretationThese biologically relevant spatiotemporal atrophy subtypes provide an interpretable stratification of patients with LBD, with the potential to refine prognosis, improve clinical trial stratification, and guide precision therapeutic approaches.
