Vascular Cognitive Impairment.
Article in Current treatment options in neurology, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Although vascular dementia remains the only form of dementia that is preventable, available treatment is limited to the primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular disease. Strokes are highly responsive to different forms of prevention and treatment. The effectiveness of the same measures in the prevention of vascular dementia remains unclear, however, owing mainly to the lack of agreement on the definition and management of cognitive impairment. The successful treatment of "vascular dementia" involves the recognition of this term as obsolete, for it falsely implies that the underlying cognitive impairment has an unknown degenerative cause, is progressive, and responds neither to currently available preventive measures nor to treatments. Although dementia resulting from multiple strokes can be a terminal manifestation of this form of cognitive impairment, most patients have treatable cerebrovascular disease. A rational therapeutic approach to the treatment of this cognitive syndrome necessitates an understanding of its broad clinical spectrum and the diverse causes that may be responsive to currently available treatments, from the clinical asymptomatic "brain-at-risk" stage to full-blown dementia.
