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

To investigate the risk factors for leukoaraiosis (LA) and the correlation between risk factors and LA.The study comprised 92 patients with diagnoses of LA (LA group) and 56 non-LA individuals (control group). Data were collected for the following: age, gender, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, uric acid, creatinine, and histories of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes. Levels of serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Univariate analysis showed statistical significance between the 2 groups in age, histories of hypertension and smoking, uric acid, creatinine, and levels of serum ADMA (P < 0.05). Binary logistic analysis showed that age (P < 0.0001), hypertension (P = 0.0101), and serum ADMA (P = 0.0206) were related to LA. Pearson correlation analysis showed that levels of serum ADMA correlated with uric acid (r = 0.184, P = 0.025) and creatinine (r = 0.169, P = 0.04).Age, hypertension, and levels of serum ADMA were independent risk factors for LA. Serum ADMA levels may be related to uric acid and creatinine.
