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

introductionCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is associated with altered spontaneous brain activity on resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). However, MRI studies usually overlook the potential effects of postural change. This study characterized posture-related alterations in spontaneous brain activity in CSVD patients. MATERIALS AND

methodsForty-one CSVD patients and 30 normal controls (NCs) underwent multi-position MRI, including upright and supine rs-fMRI. Amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), fractional ALFF (fALFF), and regional homogeneity (ReHo) were calculated, and supine-upright differences (Δ) were derived. Mixed-design ANOVA assessed group, position, and interaction effects. Within-group and between-group differences were examined, followed by cognition-related analyses.

resultsThe main effect of posture on ReHo was observed in frontal, temporal, and parietal cortices and deep gray nuclei. In the upright position, CSVD patients had higher ReHo in the right anterior cingulate gyrus than NCs, which was associated with worse global cognitive function and a higher composite CSVD score. CSVD patients also exhibited widespread posture-related ReHo alterations. Regression analyses demonstrated that ΔReHo in the left hippocampus was positively associated with memory function, whereas ΔReHo in the right putamen and left calcarine cortex was associated with the composite CSVD score.

conclusionUpright imaging and upright-supine comparison may help unmask latent posture-related ReHo abnormalities in patients with CSVD.
