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

aimsThis study aimed to investigate the characteristics, predictors, and clinical significance of periventricular anastomosis (PA) regression following revascularization in moyamoya disease (MMD).

methodsWe conducted a longitudinal cohort study involving patients with MMD treated at our hospital between 2019 and 2023. Demographic, radiological findings, and clinical outcomes were recorded. C-terminal region of ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) was sequenced. Additionally, structural changes of the RNF213 variants were evaluated using a three-dimensional model of the human RNF213 protein.

resultsOf 305 eligible patients, 103 experienced postoperative PA regression. Among the subtypes of PA, those derived from the lenticulostriate, anterior choroidal, and thalamotuberal arteries exhibited significant regression. Multivariate analysis identified age (p = 0.030), Suzuki stage (III-IV) (p = 0.043), preoperative PA score (p < 0.001), RNF213 p.R4810K variant (p = 0.019), other RNF213 rare variants (p = 0.004), and postoperative Matsushima grading (p < 0.001) were associated with postoperative PA regression. The risk of future hemorrhage was significantly higher in the non-PA regression group (p = 0.040). 80% of rare variants without structural changes did not exhibit PA regression.

conclusionsRNF213 variants in the C-terminal region are associated with PA regression, underscoring a broader genotype-phenotype correlation. Furthermore, PA regression might be considered a potential radiological marker to predict the risk of future hemorrhage in MMD patients.
