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

Objective: To explore the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV), the brain distribution of enlarged perivascular space (EPVS), and cognitive impairment in patients with EPVS. Materials and methods: The clinical and imaging data of 199 patients with EPVS were retrospectively analyzed. EPVS load in the basal ganglia (BG) and centrum semiovale (CS) regions were assessed using the Potter's method. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale. A logistic regression model was used to analyze the relationship between HRV, the brain distribution of EPVS and cognitive function in patients with EPVS. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the predictive value of HRV for cognitive function in patients with EPVS. Results: Of the 199 patients, 27 and 42 presented with severe BG-EPVS and cognitive impairment, respectively. Significant differences were observed in the root mean square of successive differences of normal-normal (NN) intervals for period of interest (rMSSD), the percentage of adjacent NN intervals greater than 50 ms (PNN50), and the ratio of low-frequency power (LF) to high-frequency power (HF) between the mild and severe BG-EPVS groups ( Conclusion: Reduced HRV is involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of the formation and development of BG-EPVS and is associated with cognitive impairment in patients with EPVS, independent of CS-EPVS. For patients with HRV changes but without autonomic nervous system symptoms, positive intervention may slow the occurrence or progression of EPVS and cognitive impairment in patients with EPVS.
