The associations between peripheral inflammatory and lipid parameters, white matter hyperintensity, and cognitive function in patients with non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular events.

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
backgroundThe global prevalence of VCI has increased steadily in recent years, but diagnostic biomarkers for VCI in patients with non-disabling ischemic cerebrovascular incidents (NICE) remain indefinite. The primary objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between peripheral serological markers, white matter damage, and cognitive function in individuals with NICE.
methodsWe collected clinical data, demographic information, and medical history from 257 patients with NICE. Using the MoCA upon admission, patients were categorized into either normal cognitive function (NCF) or VCI groups. Furthermore, they were classified as having mild white matter hyperintensity (mWMH) or severe WMH based on Fazekas scores. We then compared the levels of serological markers between the cognitive function groups and the WMH groups.
resultsAmong 257 patients with NICE, 165 were male and 92 were female. Lymphocyte count (OR = 0.448, P < 0.001) and LDL-C/HDL-C (OR = 0.725, P = 0.028) were protective factors for cognitive function in patients with NICE. The sWMH group had a higher age and inflammation markers but a lower MoCA score, and lymphocyte count than the mWMH group. In the mWMH group, lymphocyte count (AUC = 0.765, P < 0.001) and LDL-C/HDL-C (AUC = 0.740, P < 0.001) had an acceptable diagnostic value for the diagnosis of VCI. In the sWMH group, no significant differences were found in serological markers between the NCF and VCI groups.
conclusionLymphocyte count, LDL-C/HDL-C were independent protective factors for cognitive function in patients with NICE; they can be used as potential biological markers to distinguish VCI in patients with NICE and are applicable to subgroups of patients with mWMH.
