Protocol of End-PSCI trial: a multicenter, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the effects of DL-3-n-butylphthalide on delayed-onset post stroke cognitive impairment.
Article in BMC neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDelayed-onset post stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) results from secondary neurodegeneration induced by stroke. Whereas targeted prevention or treatment strategies are still missing due to lack of evidences. This trial aims to evaluate the preventive effects of DL-3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) on delayed-onset PSCI.
methodsEffects of NBP on Delayed-onset Post Stroke Cognitive Impairment (End-PSCI) is a prospective, parallel-group, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled trial with blinded outcome assessment. Hospital patients with acute cerebral infarction (within 2 weeks of onset) will be randomized into either standard medical therapy group or standard medical therapy combined NBP treatment group (NBP 200 mg, three times per day for 24 weeks). The primary outcome is the difference of incidence of delayed-onset PSCI between two groups. The secondary outcomes include difference of white matter degeneration, cognitive scores and prevalence of early-onset PSCI between two groups. DISCUSSION: End-PSCI trial will provide evidences for NBP preventing delayed-onset PSCI. The secondary outcomes will also provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis of delayed-onset PSCI and mechanism of NBP's actions.
