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

introductionThe purpose of the present study was to evaluate the role of multidetector three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D CTA) for evaluating both the residual arterial lumen and the sequential change in the intraluminal diameter and thrombus formation following carotid artery stenting (CAS). MATERIALS AND

methodsTwenty consecutive patients consisting of 23 successfully stented carotid arteries were examined by 3D CTA with volume-rendering at 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks and 6, 12 months of follow-up.

resultsThe eccentric in-stent hypodense area could be detected in ten of 23 (43.5%) carotid arteries at 2 weeks of follow-up, and they then gradually declined until they almost disappeared at 12 weeks. Eccentric in-stent hypodense areas in the acute and subacute phase (up to 12 weeks after CAS) were found in nine out of 16 carotid arteries with longer stents (3 or 4 cm in size) deployed across the carotid bifurcation, whereas no eccentric in-stent hypodense area could be observed in the patients with a short stent (2 cm) deployed only to the internal carotid artery. Seven of the ten observed eccentric hypodense areas presented on the dorsal surface at the carotid bifurcation level.

conclusionCarotid 3D CTA for evaluating residual lumen and in-stent thrombus formation after CAS is considered to be a useful diagnostic method. To avoid stent occlusion, both the acute and subacute phases following CAS (up to 12 weeks) call for the administration of appropriate anti-platelet therapy and careful observations of the patients.
