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: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common disease and the most common cause of lobar hemorrhages in the elderly. Usually, deep-seated microhemorrhages preclude the diagnosis of CAA. In this study, we sought to estimate the frequency of deep-seated microbleeds on MRI in patients with lobar hemorrhages and histopathological evidence for cerebral amyloid angiopathy. In addition, we describe a cohort of patients with cortical and deep-seated microbleeds on MRI and a histopathological specimen available from lobar hematoma evacuation. Methods: Retrospective database search for histopathological specimens from lobar hematoma evacuation and review of imaging findings (CT and MRI) and patient charts was performed. Results: Between 1 January 2012 and 31 December 2020, 88 specimens from 88 patients were available. A total of 56 specimens were excluded (no brain tissue in the specimen Conclusion: Approximately 15% of patients with histopathologically diagnosed CAA harbor deep-seated microbleeds. This finding may add to the discussion on how to identify patients with CAA and deep-seated CMB.
