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

background and purposeCerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is caused by

methodsWe analyzed 385 CADASIL patients and 191 sporadic SVD patients in whom no pathogenic mutations were identified in the next-generation sequencing of 183 genes. CADASIL patients were stratified into high-, medium-, and low-risk epidermal growth factor-like repeat (HR-, MR-, and LR-EGFr) categories according to the variant locations. The severity of temporopolar WMH was scored using Scheltens' scale, and disability was assessed using the modified Rankin Scale (mRS). Logistic and ordinal regression models were used to evaluate the associations between temporopolar WMH, clinical severity, and neuroimaging markers.

resultsTemporopolar WMH were detected in 94.7%, 54.4%, and 33.3% of CADASIL patients carrying HR-, MR-, and LR-EGFr variants, respectively, compared with in 31.9% of the sporadic SVD patients. The sensitivity for distinguishing HR-EGFr carriers from sporadic SVD was high (95%), but lower for MR-EGFr (54%) and LR-EGFr (33%) carriers. In the CADASIL patients, temporopolar WMH independently predicted greater disability (mRS score >3), and they were correlated in a dose-dependent manner with the total WMH volume, Fazekas scores, and number of lacunes. Similar associations were observed in sporadic SVD.
