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

objectivesThis study analyzed differences in the mean cerebral blood flow (mCBF) and arterial transit time (ATT) of the anterior and posterior circulations between patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) and control subjects. We also investigated the correlation between ATT and mCBF in the two groups, and evaluated whether the blood flow velocity of the extracranial carotid/vertebral arteries can influence mCBF.

methodsA total of 32 patients with ICAS were prospectively enrolled at the Radiology Department of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital between November 2020 and September 2021. All patients had extensive arterial stenosis, with 17 having cerebral arterial stenosis in the anterior circulation and 15 in the posterior circulation. Thirty-two healthy subjects were enrolled as a control group. Enhanced arterial spin labeling (eASL) imaging was performed using a 3.0-T GE magnetic resonance imaging scanner, and all patients underwent carotid and vertebral Doppler ultrasound examinations. CereFlow software was used for post-processing of the eASL data, to obtain cerebral perfusion parameters such as mCBF and ATT. Independent samples

resultsThe mCBFs of the anterior and posterior circulations in the patient group were lower than those of the control group. The ATTs in the patient group were all significantly longer than those of the control group (

conclusionThere was a significant relationship between ATT and mCBF in patients with ICAS. Extracranial blood flow may influence intracranial hemodynamics in the posterior circulation in patients with ICAS. The maintenance of extracranial blood flow is of great significance in the preservation of intracranial hemodynamics.
