Carotid Artery Stenosis: Medical Therapy, Surgery, and Stenting.
Review in Current neurology and neuroscience reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 40 papers.
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
purpose of reviewThe purpose of the study was to update the recent information pertaining to carotid artery stenosis risk stratification and treatment. RECENT
findingsCurrent decision-making related to carotid artery stenosis is based on clinical trials that are outdated. Medical therapy has improved considerably in the past two decades, and this has reduced the stroke rate for both symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenoses. In recent community-based studies, the stroke risk with asymptomatic stenosis has been < 1% per year. For asymptomatic carotid stenosis, new trials such as CREST 2 and ECST 2 will determine whether revascularization has any benefit beyond aggressive medical management. For symptomatic patients, carotid endarterectomy is associated with a lower periprocedural stroke rate compared to carotid stenting. Age greater than 70 years is also associated with an increased risk for carotid stenting patients. Clinicians should consider a variety of clinical and radiologic variables in reaching treatment decisions for patients with carotid stenosis. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients should receive optimal medical therapy.
