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

Noninvasive modalities like CTA are increasingly replacing selective angiography in the evaluation of carotid artery stenosis. Dedicated scan protocols and contrast injection techniques are mandatory for the morphological assessment of carotid artery stenosis. These protocols need to be adapted to different scanner types. The delineation of plaque components and the residual lumen is improved with high resolution scan protocols and dedicated reconstruction algorithms. The exact delineation of in-stent stenosis remains limited. Standardization of postprocessing is crucial in order to attain reproducible results. Multislice spiral CT allows reliable grading of carotid artery stenosis. Relevant venous opacification and pulsation artifacts have to be expected with 4-slice scanners, the short scan time of the latest CT scanners minimize these problems.
