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: Sema3A plays an essential role in the nervous system and is thought to regulate the entire course of the inflammatory response. This study aimed to explore the potential association between plasma Sema3A levels and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: This study enrolled patients with recent small subcortical infarct (RSSI) and 100 healthy controls (HCs). Sema3A levels were measured during the acute phase (≤3 days) and the subacute phase (14-30 days) of RSSI. Cognitive function was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used to evaluate CSVD imaging features. The study analyzed the association between Sema3A, CSVD imaging features, and cognitive impairment. Results: Plasma Sema3A levels during the acute phase were markedly higher in RSSI patients than in HCs ( Conclusion: Plasma Sema3A levels during the acute phase were elevated in RSSI patients and were linked to cognitive impairment through the mediating roles of WMH and LI.
