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

purposeHypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) of the basal ganglia mostly occurs unilaterally. Therefore, we describe the differences between the morphological parameters of lesional and non-lesional carotid arteries using initial computed tomography angiography.

methodsA total of 284 patients were diagnosed with nontraumatic ICH between March 2020 and October 2024. Hypertensive basal ganglia hemorrhages were included with a total of 64 patients enrolled in this study. Using an IntelliSpace portal, morphological examination was conducted on both the intracranial and extracranial segments on each side of the carotid artery (intra- and extra group). The total length, short distance, maximal diameter, and minimal diameter of each segment was calculated.

resultsIn both the intra- and extra-groups, the measured variables (Tortuosity, short distance, length, Dmin, Dmax) demonstrated no statistically significant differences between the ICH and non-ICH sides. There were no statistically significant differences in the five measured parameters after adjusting for the bleeding side to compensate for left/right (Lt/Rt) anatomical differences. To evaluate age-related alterations in blood vessels, we categorized individuals into 2 groups: those aged ≥65 and ≤65 years, ensuring a comparable distribution across the groups. Subsequently, we analyzed morphological alterations in the blood vessels of both groups. Significant differences in tortuosity and short distances within the Intra group were observed using paired t-tests. (tortuosity- p = 0.011, short distance- p = 0.041)

conclusionsMorphological analysis revealed that the bilateral carotid arteries did not differ between the intracranial and extracranial segments. However, some parameters (tortuosity and short distance) exhibited morphological changes associated with aging.
