Influence of Pre-Existing Cerebral Small Vessel Disease on the Outcome of Acute Cardioembolic Stroke: A Retrospective Study.

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.
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
Purpose: This study was to explore the role of pre-existing small vessel disease (SVD) on the 3-month outcomes of acute cardioembolic stroke (CES) patients. Patients and Methods: Data of 189 consecutive acute CES patients at a single center were retrospectively enrolled. SVD imaging markers of lacunes, white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and enlarged perivascular spaces (EPVS) were evaluated and their total burden score (0-3 points) was calculated. Patients were divided into the good functional outcome group (modified Rankin scale, mRS ≤ 2) and the poor functional outcome group (mRS ≥ 3) at 3 months after stroke onset. The effect of each single SVD marker and its total burden score on the outcome was identified using binary logistic regression. Results: Overall, 100 (52.9%), 52 (27.1%), 28 (14.8%) and 9 (4.8%) patients had 0, 1, 2 and 3 SVD imaging markers. Patients with a total SVD burden score of 2 and 3 were significantly older and had higher baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score than those with a score of 0 and 1 (P<0.01). Forty-seven (24.9%) patients had a poor outcome. Patients in the poor outcome group had significantly higher baseline NIHSS score, increased incidence of stroke associated pneumonia, and heavier burden of lacunes, WMH and EPVS, and thus had elevated total SVD burden score than those in good outcome group (P<0.05). After adjusting for potential confounders, the WMH (odds ratio [OR] = 2.6777, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.052-6.812, P = 0.039) and the total SVD burden score (OR = 1.717, 95% CI = 1.072-2.749, P = 0.024) were, respectively, independent risk factors for a poor outcome. Conclusion: The pre-existing SVD may be associated with the 3-month prognosis of CES.
