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

aimProgress in neuroimaging techniques allows us to investigate the microvasculature characteristics including lenticulostriate arteries (LSA), which are closely associated with lacunar infarction. Because ischemic stroke is a more critical health problem in East Asian than in other populations, in order to clarify pathological changes underlying cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), we projected an imaging analysis of LSA using high-resolution brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in middle-aged Japanese subjects with type 2 diabetes.

methodsTwenty-five subjects with type 2 diabetes and 25 non-diabetic control subjects underwent 7 Tesla (7 T) brain MRI. The prevalences of SVD and LSA structural changes were determined in each group.

resultsSVD prevalence did not differ significantly between the type 2 diabetes and control groups. The average numbers of stems, as well as numbers of branches, of LSA were significantly smaller in diabetic subjects than non-diabetic control subjects. The signal intensity of LSA was markedly decreased, indicating reduced blood flow in type 2 diabetes.

conclusionIn spite of the prevalence of SVD being similar, structural changes and decreased signal intensity of LSA were highly detected in diabetic subjects compared with non-diabetic controls, suggesting that 7 T MRA enables us to determine LSA impairment prior to the development of SVD. Early detection of LSA impairment allows us earlier interventions aimed at the prevention of atherosclerotic events.
