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

backgroundTo investigate the association between cerebral amyloid deposition and long-term cognitive outcomes in patients with hemorrhagic small vessel disease (SVD) and survivors of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

methodsPatients experiencing an ICH without overt dementia were prospectively recruited (n = 68) for brain MRI and Pittsburgh compound B (PiB) positron emission tomography scans at baseline. Cognitive function was assessed using the mini-mental status examination (MMSE) and clinical dementia rating after an overall median follow-up of 3.8 years. A positive amyloid scan was defined as a global PiB standardized uptake value ratio >1.2. Associations between follow-up cognitive outcomes and neuroimaging markers were explored using multivariable Cox regression models.

resultsPiB(+) patients were older (72.1 ± 7.8 vs. 59.9 ± 11.7, p = .002) and more frequently had cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) (63.6% vs. 15.8%, p = .002) than PiB(-) patients. PiB(+) was associated with a higher risk of dementia conversion (32.9 vs. 4.0 per 100-person-years, hazard ratio [HR] = 15.7 [3.0-80.7], p = .001) and MMSE score decline (58.8 vs. 9.9 per 100-person-years, HR = 6.2 [1.9-20.0], p = .002). In the non-CAA subgroup (n = 52), PiB(+) remained an independent predictor of dementia conversion, p = .04). In the Cox models, PiB(+) was an independent predictor of dementia conversion (HR = 15.8 [2.6-95.4], p = .003) and MMSE score decline (HR = 5.7 [1.6-20.3], p = .008) after adjusting for confounders.

conclusionsCerebral amyloid deposition potentially contributes to long-term cognitive decline in SVD-related ICH.
