Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for carotid artery stenosis.
Synthesis in The Cochrane database of systematic reviews, 2000. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundCarotid percutaneous transluminal angioplasty may be a useful non-surgical procedure for carotid stenosis, particularly for lesions not suitable for surgery.
objectivesThe objective of this review was to assess the effect of carotid percutaneous transluminal angioplasty compared with carotid endarterectomy (in patients suitable for surgery) or medical therapy (in patients not suitable for surgery). SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Stroke Groups trials register (to August 1997). We contacted researchers in the field and balloon catheter manufacturers. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomised trials of carotid percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (with or without stenting) compared with carotid endarterectomy, or percutaneous transluminal angioplasty plus best medical therapy compared with best medical therapy alone, in people with carotid artery stenosis (symptomatic or asymptomatic). DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two reviewers independently applied the inclusion criteria. MAIN
resultsNo completed trials were found. Two trials are underway. REVIEWER'S
conclusionsThere is no evidence as yet to assess the relative effects of carotid percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in people with carotid stenosis.
