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

Hereditary cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) associated with duplication involving region 13q34, which includes both COL4A1/COL4A2 is relatively rare. Here, we report a Japanese family with this duplication along with dilation and tortuosity in the multiple intracranial arteries. A 44-year-old man and his father experienced a lacunar infarction. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed multiple white matter hyperintensities and abnormal elongation and tortuosity of the ICA/VA. Genetic studies revealed a distal duplication at 13q34. Our cases suggest that dilation and tortuosity of the multiple intracranial artery may be a distinguishing neuroradiological feature of patients with CSVD caused by COL4A1/COL4A2 duplication. Ryotaro Yui, Teruya Morizumi and Nobuhiko Ohashi contributed equally to this work and share first authorship.
