Measurement of enhanced vasa vasorum density in a porcine carotid model using photon counting detector CT.
Article in Journal of medical imaging (Bellingham, Wash.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: The onset of atherosclerosis is preceded by changes in blood perfusion within the arterial wall due to localized proliferation of the vasa vasorum. The purpose of this study was to quantify these changes in spatial density of the vasa vasorum using a research whole-body photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) scanner and a porcine model. Approach: Vasa vasorum angiogenesis was stimulated in the left carotid artery wall of anesthetized pigs ( Results: The greatest arterial wall enhancement was observed following contrast recirculation. The wall enhancement measurements made over these time points revealed that the enhancement was greater in the injured artery for 13/16 scanned arterial regions. Using an exact Wilcoxon-signed rank test, a significantly increased enhancement ratio was found in injured arteries compared with control arteries ( Conclusions: Whole-body PCD-CT scanners can be used to detect and quantify the increased perfusion occurring within the porcine carotid arterial wall resulting from an increased density of vasa vasorum.
