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
objectivesCerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a primary cause of cognitive impairment (CI) in the elderly. This study aims to explore the relationship between the phase lag index (PLI), derived from electroencephalography (EEG), and cognitive dysfunction in patients with CSVD.
methodsThis retrospective study included patients diagnosed with CSVD from May 2020 to December 2023. EEG data were recorded using 64 electrodes and analyzed for PLI across four frequency bands. Cognitive function was assessed using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Blood pressure variability was monitored using a 24-hour portable device.
resultsThe study included 264 patients, categorized into two groups: CI group (n = 102) and no CI group (n = 162). The CI group exhibited significantly lower global alpha-band PLI (0.28 vs. 0.31, P = 0.006) and reduced alpha-PLI across multiple electrode pairs (0.27 vs. 0.30, P = 0.004). Cognitive scores were also lower in the CI group (MMSE: 26.25 vs. 27.76, P = 0.004; MoCA: 25.38 vs. 26.63, P = 0.007). Additionally, the CI group had higher 24-hour mean systolic blood pressure (SBP, 140.68 vs. 136.36 mmHg, P = 0.038) and lower daytime SBP coefficient of variation (9.46% vs. 10.63%, P = 0.002). Receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that F8-P8 PLI had an area under the curve of 0.608, indicating moderate discriminatory ability for identifying cognitive dysfunction.
conclusionDecreased phase synchronization in the EEG alpha-band correlated with cognitive dysfunction in CSVD patients, indicating that impaired neural connectivity may serve as a potential electrophysiological biomarker.
