– Sample size is not consistent. Abstract says 555 PwD, but Methods says 561 PwD; the subtype counts (154+88+77+53+124+65) sum to 561. Which is correct?
– Table 2: DART model Age 95% CI is [−0.90, 0.01] despite B = −0.04, SE = 0.02———– impossible. Also, the column labeled β appears to contain t-values, not standardized betas. Were tables mislabeled/mistranscribed?
– Figure 1 caption states all ERTs effectively differentiated SCD from other PWD, but text reports CATS-NA p = 0.07 (AUC = 0.63). Please reconcile.
– Bora et al. (2016) is a Huntington’s disease social-cognition meta-analysis, not dementia/FTD emotion-recognition evidence. Is this the wrong reference?
– The 2025 consensus statement is cited as “Communication & Medicine, 5, 523”; is this journal/volume correct? Also, “Quental et al., n.d.” is listed as 2013; ORCID “Ulugul” vs “Ulugut”;
– Methods say the same shortened TASIT version was administered to all participants, but Limitations say not all completed an identical battery. Clarify.
