In vitro comparison of different carotid artery stents: a pixel-by-pixel analysis using CT angiography and contrast-enhanced MR angiography at 1.5 and 3 T.

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
introductionCT angiography (CTA) and MR angiography (MRA) are increasingly used methods for evaluation of stented vessel segments. The purpose of this study was to compare CTA, contrast-enhanced MRA (CEMRA) at 1.5 T, and CEMRA at 3 T for the visualization of carotid artery stents and to define the best noninvasive imaging technique for each stent.
methodsCTA and CEMRA appearances of 18 carotid artery stents of different designs and sizes (4.0 to 10.0 mm) were investigated in vitro. The profile of the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the lumen of each stent was calculated semiautomatically by a pixel-by-pixel analysis using the medical imaging software OSIRIS. For each stent, artificial lumen narrowing (ALN) was calculated.
resultsIn all but one stents, ALN was lower on CEMRA at 3 T than at 1.5 T. With CEMRA at 3 T and at 1.5 T, ALN in most nitinol stents was lower than in the groups of stainless steel and cobalt alloy stents. In most nitinol stents, ALN on CEMRA at 3 T was lower than on CTA. In all stainless steel stents and cobalt alloy stents, ALN was lower on CTA than on CEMRA. With CTA and CEMRA, in most stents ALN decreased with increasing stent diameter.
conclusionCTA and CEMRA evaluation of vessel patency after stent placement is possible, but considerably impaired by ALN. Investigators should be informed about the method of choice for every stent.
