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

aimsWe aimed to specify relationships among cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) burden, cognitive dysfunction, and brain structure-function coupling changes.

methodsA total of 108 patients with mild CSVD burden (CSVD-m), 53 patients with severe CSVD burden (CSVD-s), and 76 healthy controls (HC) were included in this study. The ratio of regional homogeneity (ReHo) or amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) to gray matter volume (GMV) was calculated as an indicator of voxel-wise structure-function coupling.

resultsSignificantly decreased or increased ReHo-GMV and ALFF-GMV coupling values in patients with severe CSVD burden were primarily found in several brain regions, and the disrupted structure-function coupling in the right putamen mediated the relationship between CSVD burden and cognitive dysfunction.

conclusionsBrain structure-function coupling characterized by ReHo-GMV and ALFF-GMV mediated the cognitive dysfunction caused by CSVD and was an innovative and effective brain imaging indicator for exploring the association between CSVD burden and cognitive dysfunction.
