White Matter Lesions, Risk Factors, and Etiological Classification in Young versus Old Cerebral Infarction Patients: A Retrospective Study.

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
Objective: To compare the differences in risk factors and etiological classification between cerebral infarction in young patients and elderly patients, and explore the correlation between cerebral infarction in young patients and white matter lesions (WMLs). Methods: Sixty young patients with cerebral infarction and 142 elderly patients with cerebral infarction were included. The distributions of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, smoking status, alcohol consumption status, migraine status, and WMLs in the two groups were carefully investigated and statistically analyzed. Results: According to the univariate analysis, the proportions of males, obese patients, patients with migraine, and patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in the young group were significantly greater than those in the elderly group. Hypertension, heart disease, and hyperhomocysteinemia were significantly more common in the elderly group than in the young group. According to the TOAST classification, the incidence of stroke of undetermined etiology in the young group was greater than that in the elderly group, whereas the incidence of large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) in the elderly group was greater than that in the young group. Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that male sex, migraine status, and obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome were independently associated with cerebral infarction in young adults, whereas hypertension, heart disease, and hyperhomocysteinemia were independently related to cerebral infarction in elderly individuals. In addition, the incidence of WMLs in the migraine group of young cerebral infarction patients was significantly greater than that in the nonmigraine group. Conclusion: Compared with those in elderly patients with cerebral infarction, the risk factors for cerebral infarction in young patients are relatively controllable. Furthermore, more methods are needed to determine the etiology of unexplained cerebral infarction in young patients. WMLs are thought to have a relatively high incidence in young patients with cerebral infarction and are significantly associated with migraine.
