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

In cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), vascular dysfunction has been associated with cSVD-lesions across the brain. Here we further explore the relation between vascular dysfunction and cSVD-related brain injury. We tested two hypotheses: (1) that complementary measures of abnormal small vessel function relate to decreased white matter integrity, and (2) that local variance in vascular dysfunction relates to local variance in white matter integrity within individual patients. We included 23 patients with monogenic cSVD (i.e. CADASIL) and 46 patients with sporadic cSVD. With whole-brain analyses, we tested if small vessel flow velocity and reactivity measures from 7T-MRI were associated with global peak-width-of-skeletonized-mean-diffusivity (PSMD). We also tested voxel-wise correlations between reactivity to hypercapnia and mean diffusivity (MD) in white matter. Whole-brain analyses showed a negative association between blood flow velocity and PSMD for the perforating arteries in the centrum semiovale in CADASIL (
