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 primary objective of the CaRESS Phase I trial is to determine the sample size needed to reliably test the hypothesis that carotid stenting systems with distal embolic protection (CAS) is equivalent to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in the treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease in a broad-risk population. A total of 397 patients were treated at 14 clinical centers. The primary endpoint results of combined all-cause mortality and stroke at 30-days and 1-year are presented. The CaRESS Phase I study was able to closely resemble clinical practice and results suggest equivalence between treatment groups.
