Carotid atherosclerotic plaque: noninvasive MR characterization and identification of vulnerable lesions.
Review in Radiology, 2001. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02114697 (Accelerated Atherosclerosis in High Risk Population Groups), which is not on this map. Cited by 131 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

Abstract
Measurement of vessel stenosis by using ultrasonography or angiography remains the principal method for determining the severity of carotid atherosclerosis and the need for endarterectomy. The ipsilateral stroke rate, however--even in patients with severely stenotic vessels--is relatively low, which suggests that the amount of luminal narrowing may not represent the optimal means of assessing clinical risk. As a result, some patients may undergo unnecessary surgery. Improved imaging techniques are, therefore, needed to enable reliable identification of high-risk plaques that lead to cerebrovascular events. High-spatial-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been described as one promising modality for this purpose, because the technique allows direct visualization of diseased vessel wall and can be used to characterize the morphology of individual atherosclerotic carotid plaques. The purpose of this report is to review the current state of carotid plaque MR imaging and the use of carotid MR to evaluate plaque morphology and composition.
