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

backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between enlarged perivascular space (EPVS) and white matter hyperintensities (WMH) at different locations in patients with recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI).

methodsData were collected from patients with RSSI who were hospitalized at Changzhou Second People's Hospital between October 2020 and December 2021. All patients underwent cranial magnetic resonance imaging, and the grades of EPVS and WMH were assessed, including basal ganglia EPVS (BG-EPVS), centrum semiovale EPVS (CSO-EPVS), deep WMH (DWMH), and periventricular WMH (PWMH). The volumes of EPVS and WMH at different locations were quantified using 3D Slicer software. Patients were grouped according to the severity of BG-EPVS and CSO-EPVS. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to analyze the relationship between EPVS and WMH.

resultsA total of 215 patients with RSSI were included in the analysis. Patients with moderate-to-severe BG-EPVS had higher DWMH and PWMH severity than those with mild BG-EPVS, both in terms of volume and grade. There was no significant difference in WMH severity between patients with mild CSO-EPVS and those with moderate-to-severe CSO-EPVS. Multivariate analysis indicated that after adjustments were made for confounding factors, DWMH volume (β = 0.311; 95% CI, 0.089-0.400; p = .002) and PWMH volume (β = 0.296; 95% CI, 0.083-0.424; p = .004) were independently associated with BG-EPVS. Pearson correlation showed that PWMH volume (r = .589; p < .001) and DWMH volume (r = .596; p < .001) were positively related to BG-EPVS volume.

conclusionDWMH and PWMH are closely related to BG-EPVS in patients with RSSI.
