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

backgroundSmall vessel disease (SVD) is associated with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) but why VCI occurs in some, but not other patients, is uncertain. We determined the prevalence of, and risk factors for, VCI in a large cohort of patients with lacunar stroke.

methodsParticipants with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed lacunar stroke were recruited in the multicenter DNA Lacunar 2 study and compared with healthy controls. A logistic regression model was used to determine which vascular risk factors and MRI parameters were independent predictors of VCI, assessed using the Brief Memory and Executive Test (BMET).

resultsA total of 912 lacunar stroke patients and 425 controls were included, with mean (

conclusionVCI is common in lacunar stroke patients, affecting almost 40%. This prevalence suggests that it should be routinely screened for in clinical practice. Risk factors for VCI in patients with lacunar stroke include diabetes mellitus, depressive symptoms, higher BMI, and WMH severity, while education is protective.
