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: White matter hyperintensity (WMH), a common neuroimaging feature in the older adults, has not been systematically elucidated regarding its association with cognitive function and systemic inflammation. Aim: To develop and validate a clinical model for higher WMH burden integrating MoCA and CBC-derived inflammatory markers, and to quantify their independent and joint associations with WMH severity. Methods: This study retrospectively collected data from patients with WMH at the First Affiliated Hospital of Baotou Medical College (December 2023-December 2024). We used univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to identify WMH-related variables. Then, we constructed an artificial neural network model and performed 10-fold cross-validation for internal validation and model performance comparison. The Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) method was employed to evaluate both models. Results: Correlation analysis revealed a significant association between the systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) and WMH burden ( Conclusion: Age, hypertension, previous cerebrovascular disease, HDL, SIRI, and MoCA score are independent risk factors for moderate to severe WMH occurred. The model integrating MoCA and inflammatory markers accurately predicts moderate to Severe WMH. This study offers a multidimensional assessment framework for WMH risk stratification and early intervention.
