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

backgroundCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is characterised by recurrent subcortical ischemic events, migraine with aura, dementia and mood disturbance. Strokes are typically lacunar infarcts; however, bilateral multiple subcortical lacunar infarcts have been described only sporadically.

methodWe described four CADASIL patients who presented with acute bilateral multiple subcortical infarcts as the first manifestation. We also briefly summarised the case reports detailing the bilateral multiple infarcts in CADASIL.

resultsPatient 1 and patient 2 were family members, and they presented with cognitive impairment. Patient 3 and patient 4 presented with slurred speech and hemiparesis. Patients 1, 3 and 4 developed hemodynamic fluctuations before the occurrence of ischemic stroke. Laboratory tests revealed elevated fibrinogen levels in patients 3 and 4. The brain magnetic resonance imaging showed acute bilateral multiple subcortical infarcts on the periventricular white matter in all the patients.

conclusionCADASIL, with a poor brain hemodynamic reserve, is vulnerable to hemodynamic alterations (e.g. blood pressure fluctuation, dehydration, blood loss and anaemia) and intolerable to ischemia and hypoxia of the brain. Furthermore, blood hypercoagulation may contribute to acute multiple bilateral infarctions in CADASIL. Therefore, it is necessary to avert these predispositions in CADASIL patients in their daily life.
