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

The surgical therapy for severe stenosis of the carotid provides a highly effective prophylaxis for carotid dependent ischemic strokes. After carrying out prospective, randomised studies, evidence based indications for carotid thromboarterectomy are available. Here, it is necesary to take into account the degree of stenosis, an initial clinical symptom (amaurosis fugax, TIA, stroke), and postoperative risk. This can not exceed 3% by asymptomatic and 6% by symptomatic stenoses in order not to endanger the carotid thromboarterectomy. Stenting of carotid stenoses provides a possible alternative to surgery. Until the prospective, randomised studies are completed, carotid stenting offers a clinical possibility which can only be carried out through interdisciplinary cooperation.
