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

Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a chronic, progressive cerebrovascular disorder affecting small arteries, arterioles, venules, and capillaries, and is a leading contributor to stroke, vascular dementia, and cognitive impairment. Accumulating evidence has revealed that the pathogenesis of CSVD is multifactorial, with neuroinflammation and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction emerging as central pathological processes. Notably, a bidirectional feedback loop between neuroinflammation and BBB breakdown has been identified. Endothelial cells, microglia, oligodendrocytes, as main cell components in maintaining the physiological functions of BBB performed significant roles. Imaging modalities have improved detection of BBB permeability changes and CSVD progression. Recent translational research has identified potential biomarkers for early diagnosis. Therefore, some new therapeutic approaches targeting the neuroinflammation-BBB axis can provide better early intervention for CSVD and have superior therapeutic effects. In our review, we first elaborated on the pathological role of CSVD, particularly emphasizing the importance of the integrity of the BBB. Then, we highlighted the clinical characteristics and translational research evidence of CSVD, including novel imaging and biochemical biomarkers, potential therapeutic approaches, and the progress of preclinical models, thereby revealing the research progress of CSVD.
