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

backgroundDeep medullary vein (DMV) changes occur in cerebral small vessel diseases (SVD) and in Alzheimer's disease. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common SVD that has a high co-morbidity with Alzheimer's disease. So far, DMVs have not been evaluated in CAA.

objectiveTo evaluate DMVs in Dutch-type hereditary CAA (D-CAA) mutation carriers and controls, in relation to MRI markers associated with D-CAA.

methodsQuantitative DMV parameters length, tortuosity, inhomogeneity, and density were quantified on 7 Tesla 3D susceptibility weighted MRI in pre-symptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers (n = 8), symptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers (n = 8), and controls (n = 25). Hemorrhagic MRI markers (cerebral microbleeds, intracerebral hemorrhages, cortical superficial siderosis, convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage), non-hemorrhagic MRI markers (white matter hyperintensities, enlarged perivascular spaces, lacunar infarcts, cortical microinfarcts), cortical grey matter perfusion, and diffusion tensor imaging parameters were assessed in D-CAA mutation carriers. Univariate general linear analysis was used to determine associations between DMV parameters and MRI markers.

resultsQuantitative DMV parameters length, tortuosity, inhomogeneity, and density did not differ between pre-symptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers, symptomatic D-CAA mutation carriers, and controls. No associations were found between DMV parameters and MRI markers associated with D-CAA.

conclusionThis study indicates that vascular amyloid-β deposition does not affect DMV parameters. In patients with CAA, DMVs do not seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of MRI markers associated with CAA.
