Associations between carotid atherosclerotic plaque characteristics determined by magnetic resonance imaging and improvement of cognition in patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Background: To determine the predictive value of carotid plaque characteristics for the improvement of cognition in patients with moderate-to-severe carotid stenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA), using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: This was a prospective cohort study. Patients with unilateral, moderate-to-severe carotid stenosis referred to the Peking University Third Hospital for CEA were prospectively recruited and underwent carotid vessel wall MRI within 1 week before CEA. We performed Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) within 1 week before and 3-4 days after CEA. The morphological and compositional characteristics of carotid plaques on MRI were evaluated. Improvement of cognition was defined as >10% increase of the total MoCA score after CEA compared with baseline. Carotid plaque characteristics were compared between patients with and without cognitive improvement. Results: In total, 105 patients (91 males; mean age, 65.5±8.4 years) were included. The volume {48.0 [interquartile range (IQR), 21.0 to 91.6] Conclusions: More than half of the participants with unilateral, moderate-to-severe carotid atherosclerotic stenosis had cognitive improvement. The size of calcification might be an effective indicator of cognitive improvement after CEA.
