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

backgroundWhite matter lesions(WML) is an important cause of mild cognitive impairment(MCI). Ginkgo biloba extracts (GBTs) are widely used to treat cognitive dysfunctions. But the treatment of MCI is still limited. Shenqingtongqiao Decoction(SQTQD), as a clinical empirical formula, has received good feedback in treating MCI of WML. However, there was a lack of solid clinical research on SQTQD in treating MCI. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of SQTQD in the MCI patients of WML.

methodsThis is a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-controlled trial. 80 participants will be assigned to receive SQTQD granules plus GBTs mimetics or SQTQD mimetic granules plus GBTs in a 1:1 ratio. The trial will last 24 weeks, including a 12-week intervention and 12-week follow-up. The primary outcome is MoCA and AVLT. The secondary outcome is a neuropsychological battery (including MMSE, SCWT, TMT, DST, SDMT, BNT, VFT, and CDT), quality of life(BI, ADL, and FAQ scores), emotion assessment(PHQ-9, GAD-7 score) , Fazekas and ARWMCs scale, and fMRI. Researchers will record any adverse events throughout the trial. DISCUSSION: This study will provide evidence to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SQTQD for MCI of WML compared with GBTs.

trial registrationThe trial is registered at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Number: ChiCTR2300068552).
