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

Introduction: Transient ischemic attack (TIA) and minor ischemic stroke (IS) is associated with a increased risk of late life dementia. In this study we aim to study the extent to which the rates of hippocampal atrophy in TIA/IS differ from healthy controls, and how they are correlated to neuropsychological measurements. Methods: TIA or minor stroke patients were tested with a neuropsychological battery including tests of executive function, and verbal and non-verbal memory at three time points out to 3 years. Annualized rates of hippocampal atrophy in TIA/IS patients were compared to controls. A linear-mixed regression model was used to assess the difference in rates of hippocampal atrophy after adjusting for time and demographic characteristics. Results: TIA/IS patients demonstrated a higher hippocampal atrophy rate than healthy controls over a 3-year interval: the annual percentage change of the left hippocampal volume was 2.5% (78 mm Conclusion: TIA/IS patients experience a higher rate of hippocampal atrophy independent of TIA/IS recurrence that are associated with changes in episodic memory and executive function over 3 years.
