Review in Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 2 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 15 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

Carotid atherosclerosis accounts for approximately 10% of ischemic stroke cases. Multifaceted medical therapy reduces the risk of stroke in patients with carotid stenosis. Revascularization with endarterectomy or stenting can benefit select patients. In recent years, new information has been obtained regarding optimal selection of revascularization candidates. In addition, new concepts have been formulated regarding the relationship between carotid stenosis and vascular cognitive impairment. Finally, the declining rate of stroke with improved medical therapy has led to the launch of new clinical trials to determine the contemporary risk/benefit ratio of revascularization relative to aggressive medical therapy.
