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

Background: The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between peripheral blood inflammation-related indicators, such as neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), and the imaging burden and subtypes of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: Gather relevant indicators from the population who underwent physical examinations at the Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University between 2018 and 2023. Evaluate the total burden and various imaging markers according to the comprehensive burden score of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Employ logistic regression analysis to investigate the correlation between neutrophil count (NC), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) with the overall burden of CSVD and its distinct markers. Results: A cohort of 12,478 patients who underwent physical examinations was initially assembled. Following the application of specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, the study included 1,526 patients diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and 6,955 6,955 individuals serving as controls. Logistic regression analysis indicated no significant association between the overall burden scores of CSVD and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NIR), or neutrophil count (NC). Nonetheless, within the spectrum of imaging markers for CSVD, a significant correlation was identified between deep microbleeds and SII ( Conclusion: This analysis reveals a correlation between NC and SII with CSCD (especially Deep cerebral microbleeds and EPVS), which has warning implications for the prevention of CSVD.
