Cognitive Impairment in Strategic Infarct Dementia: A Report of Three Cases.

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
Strokes involving specific areas regulating cognition and behavioral functions constitute strategic infarct vascular dementia. We present three patients with acute behavioral changes and cognitive impairment following a strategic infarct. Case 1 is of a 59-year-old male, a known patient of diabetes mellitus under treatment, who presented with acute onset of memory deficit along with difficulty in recognizing faces, and left hemispatial neglect. Case 2 is of a 62-year-old male, a smoker, who presented with acute onset of behavioral abnormalities, gait apraxia, and decreased word output. Case 3 is of a 64-year-old female, a known patient of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cerebrovascular accident with left hemiparesis, who presented with psychomotor withdrawal, depression, and cautious gait. One of the most prevalent forms of dementia in adults is vascular dementia, often caused by multiple small strokes, termed multi-infarct dementia. Strategic infarct dementia, on the other hand, is usually caused by a small, single cerebral infarct. The strategic brain regions specifically involved in post-stroke cognitive impairment requires detailed clinical examination along with radiological imaging for accurate localization. Thus the cognitive impact of ischemic strokes can be understood and predicted by clinicians with the help of maps of strategic brain regions associated with global and domain-specific cognitive functions.
