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

Poststroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) refers to any level of cognitive decline occurring after a stroke, ranging from mild to severe impairments, while PSCI with dementia describes a more severe form where the cognitive decline significantly affects daily functioning and meets the clinical criteria for dementia. PSCI occurs in more than half of individuals who have had a stroke. Despite its high prevalence, the pharmacotherapeutic options for PSCI are limited. Several pharmacotherapeutic options like cholinesterase inhibitors (e.g., donepezil, galantamine, and rivastigmine) and
