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

backgroundThe stent type may be associated with adverse events in carotid artery stenting (CAS). This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes (stroke/myocardial infarction (MI)/death) of CAS with open- and closed-cell stents for patients with carotid artery stenosis.

methodsBetween April 2012 and May 2024, the clinical data of 223 patients who underwent CAS in our center were retrospectively analyzed. In terms of the stent type used, patients were divided into a closed-cell stent group and an open-cell stent group. Clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors. Subgroup analyses in terms of carotid plaque types and smoking history were conducted in carotid artery stenosis patients receiving CAS with open- and closed-cell stents.

resultsThe combined in-hospital stroke/MI/death rate was significantly lower in the closed-cell stent group than in the open-cell stent group (p=0.026). Open-cell stents, smoking, and unstable plaques were the independent risk factors associated with a higher in-hospital stroke/MI/death rate. Subgroup analyses showed that for patients with unstable plaques, the combined in-hospital stroke/MI/death rate was significantly higher in the open-cell stent group than in the closed-cell stent group (p=0.016). For patients who smoked, the combined in-hospital stroke/MI/death rate was significantly higher in the open-cell stent group than in the closed-cell stent group (p=0.038).

conclusionFor carotid artery stenosis patients with unstable carotid plaques or smoking history, using closed-cell stents in CAS may help reduce the combined in-hospital stroke/MI/death rate.
