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

introductionChronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH)-induced white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are a well-established risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia. While animal and

methodsWe included 58 patients with MMD and 36 healthy controls, and all participants underwent 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and arterial spin labeling (ASL) sequences. Myelin was assessed by the T1-weighted/T2-weighted ratio (rT1/T2), and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in each arterial region was measured by ASL. Cognitive function was evaluated using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).

resultsPatients exhibited decreased rT1/T2 at lower percentiles (P5 and P10) and increased rT1/T2 at higher percentiles (P75, P90, and P95) in NAWM (false discovery rate [FDR]-corrected DISCUSSION: Our study provides in vivo evidence that CCH induces both myelin loss and potential plastic adaptations in NAWM, with severe myelin loss being associated with cognitive decline. Highlights: MMD features CCH and cognitive decline.Decreased rT1/T2 (myelin loss) in NAWM was detected in MMD.The lower percentage of rT1/T2 correlated with CCH.The lowest percentage of rT1/T2 correlated with cognitive decline.The rT1/T2 showed high accuracy in differentiating patients from controls.
