Analysis of neuropsychological characteristics and related influencing factors in patients with vascular cognitive impairment.

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.
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
Objectives: To explore neuropsychological characteristics and related influencing factors of patients with vascular cognitive impairment (VCI). Methodology: Clinical data from two hundred VCI patients admitted to the Fourth Central Hospital of Baoding City between May 2021 and October 2023, along with one hundred healthy controls, were retrospectively analyzed. Diagnosis was established based on recognized clinical criteria. Inter-group comparisons of biochemical indices and neuropsychological scores (MoCA/MMSE) were performed using t-tests and chi-square tests, followed by multivariate logistic regression to identify independent associated factors. Results: Significant differences were observed in lipids, CRP, Hcy levels, and comorbidities (P < 0.05). VCI patients exhibited characteristic deficits in abstract thinking, visuospatial/executive function, and graphical description (P < 0.05). Logistic regression identified low education, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, and elevated Hcy as independent associated factors (P < 0.05), which specifically correlated with the observed impairments in executive and visuospatial domains. Conclusions: Neuropsychological characteristics of VCI patients mainly manifest as impairment of abstract thinking, visual spatial and executive function, graphic description, and language expression ability. Lower education level, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, and high Hcy levels are all important factors significantly associated with an increased risk of VCI.
