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

objectiveTo investigate the correlations between carotid plaque characteristics and cerebral blood flow (CBF) in patients with unilateral moderate to severe carotid stenosis using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) and 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (3D pcASL).

methodsA total of 43 patients with unilateral moderate to severe carotid stenosis were recruited. The degree of carotid stenosis, maximum wall thickness (Max WT) and normalized wall index (NWI) were measured using HR-MRI. The plaque characteristics were analyzed. Presence or absence of plaque components including intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH), lipid-rich necrotic nucleus (LRNC), calcification and ulcer were identified, and the grades of calcification and LRNC were recorded. CBF values within the region of interest representing the bilateral middle cerebral artery distribution were acquired using 3D pcASL. Paired sample

resultsThe ave-rage degree of carotid stenosis at the index side was 77.30%±11.79%. The mean CBF value of the index side was (46.77±11.65) mL/(100 g·min), and that of the contralateral side was (49.92±9.95) mL/(100 g·min), and the difference was statistically significant (

conclusionIn patients with unilateral moderate to severe carotid stenosis, calcification might affect CBF perfusion. When there is no calcification, the plaque components need attention.
