Cognitive aspects of MELAS and CARASAL.
Review in Cerebral circulation - cognition and behavior, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Monogenic diseases, although rare, should be always considered in the diagnostic work up of vascular dementia (VaD), particularly in patients with early onset and a familial history of dementia or cerebrovascular disease. They include, other than CADASIL, Fabry disease, Col4A1-A2 related disorders, which are well recognized causes of VaD, other heritable diseases such as mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and cathepsin-A related arteriopathy strokes and leukoencephalopathy (CARASAL). MELAS, caused by mtDNA (80% of adult cases m.3243A>G mutations) and more rarely POLG1 mutations, has minimum prevalence of 3.5/100,000. CARASAL, which is caused by mutations in the CTSA gene, has been described in about 19 patients so far. In both these two disorders cognitive features have not been fully explored and are described only in case series or families. This review paper is aimed at providing an update on the clinical manifestations, with particular focus on cognitive aspects, but also neuroradiological and genetic features of these less frequent monogenic diseases associated with VaD.
