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

background and purposeProspective studies on cerebral microbleeds (CMB) have departed from individuals who already have CMB at baseline. Therefore, main outcomes have usually been the composite of new lesions appearing on the follow-up among patients who already had CMB together with those who de novo developed CMB. Using the Atahualpa Project Cohort, we aimed to assess correlates of incident CMB in community-dwelling older adults free of CMB at baseline.

methodsAtahualpa residents aged ≥ 60 years received baseline clinical interviews and a brain MRI. Those who were free of CMB at baseline and received follow-up brain MRI at the end of the study were included. Multivariate logistic and Poisson regression models were fitted to assess the association and the incidence rate ratio (IRR) of incident CMB according to clinical and neuroimaging variables.

resultsThe mean age of 241 study participants was 65.6 ± 6.1 years (57% women). After 6.5 years of follow-up, 25 subjects (10.4%) developed incident CMB. A total of 37 CMB were noticed in these 25 patients. A parsimonious logistic regression model demonstrated an association between the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) and incident CMB (

conclusionsStudy results show a significant relationship between the EFS, WMH progression, and incident CMB. This knowledge will allow the implementation of preventive policies to reduce incident CMB and its consequences.
