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

Objectives: To investigate the effect of regional white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) on Essential tremor (ET) subtypes and to explore the association between WMHs load and the severity of motor and non-motor symptoms in patients with ET. Methods: A cohort of 176 patients with ET (including 86 patients with pure ET and 90 patients with ET plus) and 91 normal controls (NC) was consecutively recruited. Demographic, clinical, and imaging characteristics were compared between individuals with pure ET, ET plus, and NC. The cross-sectional association among regional WMHs and the severity of tremor and non-motor symptoms were assessed within each group. Results: Compared with the pure ET subgroup, the ET plus subgroup demonstrated higher TETRAS scores, NMSS scores, and lower MMSE scores (all Conclusion: Our results indicated that the WMHs in the frontal horn could lead to an increased risk of developing ET. WMHs may be used to differentiate pure ET and ET plus. Furthermore, WMHs in the frontal and occipital lobes are strong predictors of worse tremor severity in the ET plus subgroup. Regional WMHs are associated with cognitive impairment in patients with ET.
