Review in International journal of stroke : official journal of the International Stroke Society, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 59 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is a common small vessel disease in the elderly involving vascular amyloid-β deposition. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy is one of the leading causes of intracerebral hemorrhage and a significant contributor to age-related cognitive decline. The awareness of a diagnosis of cerebral amyloid angiopathy is important in clinical practice as it impacts decisions to use lifelong anticoagulation or nonpharmacological alternatives to anticoagulation such as left atrial appendage closure in patients who have concurrent atrial fibrillation, another common condition in older adults. This review summarizes the latest literature regarding the management of patients with sporadic cerebral amyloid angiopathy, including diagnostic criteria, imaging biomarkers for cerebral amyloid angiopathy severity, and management strategies to decrease intracerebral hemorrhage risk. In a minority of patients, the presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy triggers an autoimmune inflammatory reaction, referred to as cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation, which is often responsive to immunosuppressive treatment in the acute phase. Diagnosis and management of cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related inflammation will be presented separately. While there are currently no effective therapeutics available to cure or halt the progression of cerebral amyloid angiopathy, we discuss emerging avenues for potential future interventions.
