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

To investigate the neurovascular coupling (NVC) differences in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with or without cognitive impairment, using arterial transit time corrected cerebral blood flow, dynamic and static regional homogeneity, and explore underlying mechanisms through stepwise multiple linear regression and mediation analysis. Sixty-five CSVD patients and 36 healthy controls underwent resting-state fMRI and arterial spin labeling imaging. Cerebral blood flow, dynamic and static regional homogeneity, and NVC metrics were calculated. Cognitive, depression, and anxiety assessments were conducted. Stepwise multiple linear regression and mediation analysis were performed to understand the relationship between CSVD pathology and cognition status. Altered NVC was mainly distributed in the prefrontal cortex and basal ganglia. Reduced cross-voxel-correlation-coefficients within the whole brain in CSVD were observed. Positive predictors for cognition score included NVC-related metrics in default mode network, precentral gyrus, the whole gray matter and education. Finally, mediation analysis revealed the role of NVC in the relationship between depression and cognitive performance. NVC dysfunction is observed in CSVD. NVC-related abnormality in default mode network, precentral gyrus, the whole gray matter, and education level contribute to global cognition in CSVD. NVC may mediate depression and global cognition.
