Imaging of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques using 3.0 T and 7.0 T magnetic resonance imaging-current trends and future perspectives.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke and carries a relatively high risk of stroke recurrence. Advances in high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HRMRI) techniques of intracranial arteries now have made it possible to directly visualize atherosclerotic plaque itself, allowing detailed assessments of plaque morphology and components. Currently available intracranial HRMRI could be performed with 2-dimensional (2D) and 3D acquisitions, and multicontrast weightings in clinically reasonable scan times. Until now, HRMRI research of ICAD has focused on the identification of plaque vulnerability, and the relationship between plaque characteristics and ischemic stroke. HRMRI at ultra-high-field strength (7.0 T) holds promise in better visualizing intracranial vessel walls, as well as identifying early lesions and total burden of ICAD. As a result, intracranial HRMRI provides great insights into pathology of intracranial atherosclerotic plaques, stroke mechanisms, and future stroke risk. In this article, we will review the technical implementation, preclinical research, clinical applications, and future directions of HRMRI for the evaluation of ICAD at 3.0 T and 7.0 T.
