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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesStroke and arteriosclerotic diseases remain the main challenge for global healthcare. Carotid artery procedures aim to restore blood flow through the carotid arteries to prevent embolic events. The most common techniques include carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS). The choice of intervention depends on the severity of stenosis, the patient's overall condition and the presence of comorbidities. The personalized approach, which includes sex-related differences, is crucial in optimizing the outcome.

methodsSex-related differences in atherosclerosis risk factors and early carotid artery stenting treatment outcomes were evaluated in 271 patients. The goal of the study was to asses sex-related differences in early outcome of CAS, including success rate and complications.

resultsThe only significant difference in classical arteriosclerosis risk factors included a higher occurrence of smoking among males. The technical success rate of carotid artery stenting was high (94.46%). The sex-related differences in CAS involve using smaller sizes of implanted stents in females. There was a high incidence of complications (mostly minor), predominantly among females. They had a significantly higher frequency of bleeding and hypotension. Blood pressure and BMI significantly influenced the odds of complications.

conclusionsFemales undergoing CAS have a higher complication risk with a similar success rate.
