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

aimsCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is characterized by functional and structural changes in small vessels. We aimed to elucidate the relationship between dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) and neuroimaging characteristics of CSVD.

methodsA case-control study was performed. Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of bilateral middle cerebral arteries and spontaneous arterial blood pressure were simultaneously recorded. Transfer function analysis was used to calculate dCA parameters (phase, gain, and the rate of recovery of CBFV [RoRc]). Neuroimaging characteristics of CSVD patients were evaluated, including lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH), cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), perivascular spaces (PVS), and the total CSVD burden.

resultsOverall, 113 patients and 83 controls were enrolled. Compared with the control group, the phase at low frequency and the RoRc in CSVD patients were lower, and the gain at very low and low frequencies were higher, indicating bilaterally impaired dCA. Total CSVD burden, WMH (total, periventricular and deep), severe PVS, and lobar CMBs were independently correlated with the phase at low frequency.

conclusionsOur findings suggested that dCA was compromised in CSVD patients, and some specific neuroimaging characteristics (the total CSVD burden, WMH, severe PVS and lobar CMBs) might indicate more severe dCA impairment in CSVD patients.
