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

This study aims to investigate the potential changes of interactive relationships among neurofluid metrics in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Forty-one CSVD patients and 34 elderly controls were consecutively enrolled. Neurofluid metrics, including normalized cerebral blood flow (nCBF) of gray matter (GM) and white matter (WM), diffusion tensor imaging along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) index, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) volume of ventricles, were assessed using arterial spin labeling, diffusion tensor imaging, and volumetric measurements. Multivariate linear regression with interaction analysis was performed on neurofluid metrics between the CSVD group and the control group. Linear regression analysis for white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) volume was conducted. Multiple mediation analysis was performed to investigate potential mediation effects of neurofluid metrics on cognitive function. The interactive correlations in the CSVD group between DTI-ALPS index and nCBF of GM (P < 0.001), DTI-ALPS and nCBF of WM (P = 0.002), CSF volume of ventricles and DTI-ALPS (P < 0.001), CSF volume of ventricles and nCBF of GM (P = 0.025), CSF volume of ventricles and nCBF of WM (P = 0.008) were significantly different from those in the control group. The nCBF of GM was significantly correlated with WMHs volume when other neurofluid metrics were controlled (P = 0.001). DTI-ALPS index, the nCBF of GM and WM significantly mediated the relationship between CSVD status and cognitive function. Disruption of neurofluid status may play an important role in the cognitive impairment of CSVD.
