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

aimCoronary artery stenosis (CAS) ≥ 50% frequently coexists in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease (AICVD), which portends unfavorable outcomes. We sought to examine whether patients with AICVD with CAS had more severe and more diffused cervicocephalic atherosclerosis (CA).

methodsPatients with AICVD were consecutively enrolled and underwent simultaneous computed tomography angiography (CTA) of the coronary and cervicocephalic arteries. A total of 140 patients were divided into "AICVD+CAS" and "AICVD only" groups according to whether CTA showed stenosis of ≥ 50% in at least one coronary arterial segment. The relationship of the presence of CAS with the severity and extent of CA were examined.

resultsThe CA severity characteristics, including the presence of stenosis ≥ 50% and the grade of the most severe stenotic segment, were not significantly different between the two groups. Regarding the extent of CA, the presence of stenosis ≥ 50% in both sides (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 4.29, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.67-10.98), both extracranial and intracranial (adjusted OR: 5.26, 95% CI: 2.24-12.35), both anterior and posterior circulation (adjusted OR: 5.29, 95% CI: 2.22-12.64), and the number of stenotic segments ≥ 50% in cervicocephalic arteries (adjusted OR: 1.58, 95% CI: 1.28-1.96) were associated with CAS in patients with AICVD, independently of clinical demographics and CA severity characteristics.

conclusionCA was similarly severe in patients with AICVD with and without CAS, but those with CAS had significantly more diffused CA. The extent of CA and CAS were mutual indicators in patients with AICVD, irrespective of CA severity.
