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

Purpose: Leukoaraiosis (LA) is a major public issue that affects elderly adults. However, the underlying neuropathological mechanism of LA without cognitive impairment requires examination. The present study aimed to explore the dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) in LA patients without cognitive impairment. Methods: Twenty-three patients with LA and 20 well-matched healthy controls were recruited for the present study. Each subject underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning and cognition evaluations. Spatial independent component analysis was conducted to evaluate dynamic functional connectivity. The differences in dFNC were determined and correlated with cognitive performance. Results: Compared with controls, LA without cognitive impairment showed aberrant dFNC in State 1, involving increased connectivity in the default mode network (DMN) with the executive control network (ECN). In addition, decreased connectivity in the DMN with the salience network (SN) was found in State 3. Furthermore, the decreased number of transitions between states was positively associated with the visuospatial/executive score (Spearman's rho = 0.452, Conclusion: These findings enrich our understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying LA and may serve as a potential imaging biomarker for investigating and recognizing the LA at an early stage.
