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

Small vessel disease (SVD) is a disorder that causes vascular lesions in the entire parenchyma of the human brain. At present, it is not well understood how primary and secondary damage interact to give rise to the complex scenario of white matter (WM) and grey matter (GM) lesions. Using novel cross-sectional and longitudinal connectomic approaches, we unveil the bidirectional nature of GM and WM changes, that is, primary cortical neurodegeneration that leads to secondary alterations in vascular border zones, and WM lesions that lead to secondary neurodegeneration in cortical projecting areas. We found this GM-WM interaction to be essential for executive cognitive performance. Moreover, we also observed that the interlocked degeneration of GM and WM over time associates with prototypical expression levels of genes potentially linked to SVD. Among these connectomic-genetic intersections, we found that the Androgen Receptor (AR) gene, is a particularly central candidate gene that might confer key vulnerability for brain lesion development in SVD. In conclusion, this study advances in the understanding of the bidirectional relationships between GM and WM lesions, primary and secondary vascular neurodegeneration, and sheds light on the genetic signatures of SVD.
