Efficacy of enhanced extracorporeal counterpulsation combined with atorvastatin in the treatment of cognitive impairment after stroke.
Article in World journal of psychiatry, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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 apoplexy patients are prone to cognitive impairment, and it is very important to choose appropriate treatment methods to improve their cognitive impairment after stroke.
aimTo evaluate the effects of enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) in conjunction with atorvastatin on cognitive function, neurotransmitter levels, and the repair of brain tissue damage in patients with cognitive impairment due to stroke.
methodsIn this retrospective study, data from 60 patients with poststroke cognitive impairment due to stroke who were treated in our hospital from February 2021 to July 2022 were analyzed and divided into a treatment group (
resultsMMSE, MoCA, and ADL scores all improved in both groups following treatment, with the study group showing more improvement than the control group (
conclusionEECP combined with atorvastatin is effective in the treatment of cognitive impairment after stroke and can effectively improve the cognitive function, neurotransmitter levels, and brain tissue damage status of patients.
