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

Cerebrovascular disease has a major role in the development of dementia, contributing to cognitive and functional decline in up to 75 % of all cases, and being the predominant or only cause in 15 to 20 % of cases. The importance of prevention and disease-modifying treatments to minimise the contribution of cerebrovascular disease to dementia has never been more obvious. To maximise the impact of such measures, accurate diagnosis is essential. The VasCog-2-WSO Criteria Consortium recently published diagnostic criteria for vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), updating the VasCog criteria published in 2014. The key features, strengths and limitations of the VasCog-2-WSO criteria are outlined, which suggest that these criteria have the potential to harmonise the diagnosis of VCID internationally, and infuse new energy into the development of treatment and prevention strategies.
