The Correlation Between Modified Total Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Score and Gait and Balance Disorder in Middle-aged to Older Adults.

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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsThe aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between the original and modified total cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD) score and gait and balance impairment using quantitative and semi-quantitative tests.
methodsIn our study, patients aged 45 to 85 consecutively recruited. CSVD manifestations were identified with brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and the original and modified CSVD scores were calculated based on the results. Gait and balance function were assessed using both gait parameters and clinical rating scales. The correlation between the original and modified total scores of the CSVD and gait and balance dysfunction was demonstrated.
results224 patients were enrolled in the study. Gait and balance disorders were associated with both the original and modified CSVD scores. A significant association remained after adjusting for gender, height, age, hypertension, and other relevant risk factors. The binary logistic regression and chi-squared trend tests revealed that impairment of movement function significantly correlated with the modified CSVD score and that the dysfunction was significantly higher for patients with modified CSVD scores of 5-6 than those with scores of 1-2. In Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, modified CSVD scores were more accurate in predicting gait impairment than original CSVD scores.
conclusionWe found both original and modified total CSVD scores to be related to gait and balance disorder, and the modified CSVD score was more accurate in identifying movement impairment and should be used as an effective tool in investigating CSVD and motor dysfunction.
