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

ObjectiveThis study aimed to compare small-world network attributes between control participants without memory complaints and patients with white matter lesions showing cognitive impairment.MethodsChanges in diffusion tensor imaging and white matter fiber bundles in patients were analyzed. Brain structural network was constructed based on diffusion tensor imaging data, and topological properties of whole-brain small-world network were discussed. The damaged brain areas of patients with white matter lesions were studied, and the correlation between white matter lesion-related brain structural network abnormalities and cognitive impairment severity was discussed.ResultsCompared with the normal control with normal cognition group, fractional anisotropy was significantly reduced in the white matter lesions-non-dementia vascular cognitive impairment (WMLs-VCIND) and white matter lesions-vascular dementia (WMLs-VaD) groups, while mean diffusivity and radial diffusivity values were significantly increased (
