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 purposeCerebrovascular parenchymal damage is prevalent in ageing brains; however, its vascular aetiology has not been fully elucidated. In addition to the underlying role of sclerotic arterioles, the correlation between collagenised venules has not been clarified. Here, we aimed to investigate the associations between microvascular injuries, including arteriolosclerosis and venular collagenosis, and related parenchymal damages in ageing brains, to investigate the underlying correlations.

methodsWe evaluated arteriolosclerosis and venular collagenosis in 7 regions from 27 autopsy cases with no history of stroke or brain tumour. The correlations between the ratio of arteriolosclerosis, venular collagenosis and the severity of cerebrovascular parenchymal damage, including lacunes, microinfarcts, myelin loss, and parenchymal and perivascular haemosiderin deposits, were assessed.

resultsArteriolosclerosis and venular collagenosis became more evident with age. Arteriolosclerosis was associated with lacunes (p=0.004) and brain parenchymal haemosiderin deposits in the superior frontal cortex (p=0.024) but not with leukoaraiosis severity. Venular collagenosis was not associated with the number of lacunes or haemosiderin, while white matter generally became paler with severe venular collagenosis in the periventricular (β=-0.430, p=0.028) and deep white matter (β=-0.437, p=0.025).

conclusionOur findings imply an important role for venular lesions in relation to microvessel-related parenchymal damage which is different from that for arteriolosclerosis. Different underlying mechanisms of both cerebral arterioles and venules require further investigation.
