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: Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque is regarded as a low risk for attribution of cerebrovascular events. Nevertheless, in individuals with carotid plaque, the risk of ischemic stroke poses a continuous threat to both health and quality of life. This study aimed to investigate risk predictors of anterior circulation ischemic stroke (ACIS) in patients with solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque. Methods: Medical records of 1,961 patients were collected at our hospital from January to December 2022. Patients with solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque were divided into ACIS and non-ACIS groups based on brain CT/MRI results. Ultrasonic and clinical characteristics were assessed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Results: A total of 134 patients with solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque were enrolled in this study. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) >141.5 mmHg, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) > 7.05%, triglyceride glucose (TyG) index > 7.18, and mainly hypoechoic significantly were predictive factors for ACIS. The prediction equation was logit ( Conclusion: This study demonstrated that SBP > 141.5 mmHg, HbA1c > 7.05%, TyG index > 7.18, and mainly hypoechoic were independent predictors of ACIS in patients with solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque. Significant attention should be given to these risk factors to improve the management of solitary Plaque-RADS-2 carotid plaque.
