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: The mechanism of gait and balance dysfunction (GBD) in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) remains unclear. Evidence supports cognition engages in GBD of CSVD. The cerebellum is important in motor and cognition, while little is known about the influence of the cerebellum on GBD in CSVD. Methods: This study is a retrospective cohort study. All participants of this study were enrolled from the CSVD individuals in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from 2017 to 2021. The GBD of CSVD patients was defined as Tinetti Test score ≤ 23. Cerebral cortical thickness, cerebellar gray matter volume, the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation, functional connectivity, and modular interaction were calculated to determine the cortical atrophy and activity patterns of CSVD patients with GBD. The effect of cognitive domains during GBD in CSVD patients was explored by correlation analyses. Results: A total of 25 CSVD patients were recruited in CSVD patients with GBD group (Tinetti Test score ≤ 23, mean age ± standard deviation: 70.000 ± 6.976 years), and 34 CSVD patients were recruited in CSVD patients without GBD group (Tinetti Test score > 23, mean age ± standard deviation: 64.029 ± 9.453 years). CSVD patients with GBD displayed worse cognitive performance and cortical atrophy in the right cerebellum VIIIa and bilateral superior temporal gyrus than those without GBD. The right postcentral gyrus, left inferior temporal gyrus, right angular gyrus, right supramarginal gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus were functionally overactivated and showed decreased modular interaction with the right cerebellum. Tinetti Test scores were negatively related to the volume of the right cerebellum VIIIa in CSVD patients with GBD. Notably, memory, especially visuospatial memory, was greatly associated with GBD in CSVD. Conclusion: The cortical atrophy and altered functional activity in sensorimotor area and ventral attention network in the cerebellum and cerebrum may underlying the GBD in CSVD. Memory might be critically cognitively responsible for GBD in CSVD.
