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

Ethnic disparity of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) has been reported previously but understanding of its clinical-anatomical is sparse. Two cohorts of CSVD patients from Peking University First Hospital, China and University Hospital of Ulm, Germany were retrospectively collected between 2013 and 2017. Visual rating scales and semiautomatic computer-assisted quantitative analysis were used to describe the neuroimaging features of CSVD, including lacunes, enlarged perivascular spaces, white matter changes and microbleeds. After exclusion of confounding neurological disorders, 165 out of 220 Chinese and 86 out of 98 German patients' data were analyzed. Mean age of patients was 64.0 ± 11.9 years in China and 73.9 ± 10.3 years in Germany. Cognitive deficits were more prominent in the German group, mainly in the cognitive domains of language and delayed recall. Neuroimaging comparison showed that lacunes were more common and white matter lesion load was more severe in German than Chinese patients. Spatial distribution analysis suggested that Chinese patients showed more deep and infratentorial lesions (microbleeds and lacunes), while lesions in German patients were more frequently located in the lobes or subcortical white matter. In conclusion, different age of onset and anatomical distribution of lesions exist between Chinese and German CSVD patients in the observed population.
