Shape and Location of Carotid Atherosclerotic Plaque and Intraplaque Hemorrhage: A High-resolution Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.
Article in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 20 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimThe present study aimed to investigate the association between shape and location of atherosclerotic plaques and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) in carotid arteries using magnetic resonance (MR) imaging.
methodsOverall, 114 symptomatic patients (mean age: 64.9±10.9 years; 81 males) who underwent MR imaging and had advanced carotid plaques were included in analysis. IPH presence and carotid plaque shape and location (below and above bifurcation) were evaluated. The plaque shape was defined as follows: type-I: the arc-length of plaque is greater in the upstream; type-II: the arc-length of plaque in downstream and upstream is equal; and type-III: the arc-length of plaque is greater in downstream. The plaque shape and location were compared between plaques with and without IPH and their associations with IPH were determined.
resultsOf 181detectedplaques, 57 (31.5%) had IPH. Compared with plaques without IPH, those with IPH had higher incidence of the plaque shape of type-I (66.7% vs. 32.2%, P＜0.001), lower incidence of plaque shape of type-III (24.6% vs. 50.0%, P=0.001), and were more likely located above carotid bifurcation (71.9% vs. 48.4%, P=0.003). The plaque shape of type-I (OR, 4.01; 95%CI, 1.36-11.83; P=0.012) and location above bifurcation (OR, 3.21; 95%CI, 1.07-9.61; P=0.037) of carotid plaques were significantly associated with IPH after adjusting for confounder factors.
conclusionsCarotid plaque shape and location are significantly associated with the occurrence of IPH. Our findings could provide new insights for the pathogenesis of IPH and vulnerably plaques.
