Application and interpretation of vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging for intracranial atherosclerosis: a narrative review.
Review in Annals of translational medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07448454 (Role of Vessel Wall MRI in Differentiaition Between Intrcranial Atherosclerotic Disease and Vasculitis as Causes of Ischemic Stroke), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background and Objective: Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that occurs in the arteries, and it is the most important causative factor of ischemic stroke. Vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging (VWMRI) is one of the best non-invasive methods for displaying the vascular features of intracranial atherosclerosis. The main clinical applications of this technique include the exploration of the pathogenesis of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions, follow-up monitoring, and treatment prognosis judgment. As the demand for intracranial VWMRI increases in clinical practice, radiologists should be aware of the selection of imaging parameters and how they affect image quality, clinical indications, evaluation methods, and limitations in interpreting these images. Therefore, this review focused on describing how to perform and interpret VWMRI of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions. Methods: We searched the studies on the application of VWMRI in the PubMed database from January 1, 2000 to March 31, 2022, and focused on the analysis of related studies on VWMRI in atherosclerotic lesions, including technical application, expert consensus, imaging characteristics, and the clinical significance of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions. Key Content and Findings: We reviewed and summarized recent advances in the clinical application of VWMRI in atherosclerotic diseases. Currently accepted principles and expert consensus recommendations for intracranial VWMRI include high spatial resolution, multiplanar two and three-dimensional imaging, multiple tissue-weighted sequences, and blood and cerebrospinal fluid suppression. Understanding the characteristics of VWMRI of normal intracranial arteries is the basis for interpreting VWMRI of atherosclerotic lesions. Evaluating VWMRI imaging features of intracranial atherosclerotic lesions includes plaque morphological and enhancement characteristics. The evaluation of atherosclerotic plaque stability is the highlight of VWMRI. Conclusions: VWMRI has a wide range of clinical applications and can address important clinical questions and provide critical information for treatment decisions. VWMRI plays a key role in the comprehensive evaluation and prevention of intracranial atherosclerosis. However, intracranial VWMRI is still unable to obtain
