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

objectivesGait disorder (GD) is a common problem in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). This study aimed to determine (1) the early characteristics of GD in CSVD, (2) cerebellar neuroimaging features related to GD in CSVD, and (3) the association of cognitive impairment with GD.

methodsIn total, 183 subjects were enrolled in this study: patients with CSVD with normal cognitive function (CSVD-NC) group (64 subjects), patients with CSVD with mild cognitive impairment (CSVD-MCI) group (66 subjects), and a healthy control (HC) group (53 subjects). The GD patterns were evaluated using the ReadyGo three-dimensional motion balance testing system. Meanwhile, we analyzed the cerebrum and cerebellum structurally and functionally. Correlation analyses were conducted among gait indicators, neuroimaging features, and neuropsychological tests.

resultsBoth the CSVD-NC and CSVD-MCI groups had a reduced stride length, cortical atrophy in the left cerebellum VIIIb, and decreased functional connectivity between the left cerebellum VIIIb and left SFGmed compared with the HC group. In the correlation analysis, the gray matter probability of the left cerebellum VIIIb was closely related to stride length in the HC group. In the CSVD-MCI group, linguistic function, memory, and attention were significantly correlated with gait performance.

conclusionDecreased stride length was the earliest characteristic of GD in CSVD. Structural and functional regulation of the left cerebellum VIIIb could play a particularly important role in early GD in CSVD.
