Research progress on cognitive impairment and the expression of serum inflammatory markers in patients with white matter hyperintensities: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Background and Objective: White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are magnetic resonance imaging manifestations of brain white matter lesions, which are common in the elderly. There is a correlation between WMH and cognitive impairment, but its imaging features lack heterogeneity, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Studies have found that cognitive impairment in patients with WMH is closely related to changes in the expression of serum inflammatory markers. This article reviews the correlation between WMH and cognitive function, as well as the correlation between cognitive impairment and serum inflammatory markers in patients with WMH. Methods: We searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), PubMed, Medline and EMBASE databases to identify studies on the correlation between cognitive impairment and serum inflammatory markers in patients with WMH published between the databases' dates of inception and December 2021. Key Content and Findings: Serum inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), plasma lipoprotein phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) and interleukins (ILs) are closely related to cognitive impairment in patients with WMH. Conclusions: CRP, TNF-α, ILs and others systemic inflammatory markers can be used to help diagnose and predict cognitive impairment in WMH patients. But more in-depth and comprehensive research is needed to determine the role of systemic inflammatory markers in diagnosing WMH cognitive impairment.
