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

backgroundRetinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) is a rare hereditary disease presenting with distinct imaging features in middle-aged adults. This article describes the typical imaging features focusing on the longitudinal course of RVCL-S lesions.

methodsIn this study six subjects (five male, five related) with RVCL-S were retrospectively included from two university hospitals. The median age of symptom onset was 40 ± 6 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) covering baseline and a median follow-up period of 33 months was reviewed in a structured way focusing on morphology, contrast enhancement and diffusion restriction of brain lesions.

resultsAll patients showed patchy, T2 hyperintense white matter lesions (mean number 7.7 ± 1.8) with a periventricular predominance at the frontal lobes (59%). In all subjects, rim-enhancing white matter lesions with temporary diffusion restriction were present for a mean of 5.0 ± 3.9 months. Median duration of blood brain barrier disruption was 20 months.

conclusionPeriventricular patchy white matter lesions in the frontal lobes as well as rim-enhancing lesions with prolonged diffusion restriction and long-lasting contrast enhancement are characteristic imaging findings in RCVL-S and can be helpful in the differential diagnosis.
