Symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid stenosis: how, when, and who to treat?
Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Carotid stenosis is an important cause of ischemic stroke. Large randomized trials of endarterectomy have shown that surgery reduces the risk of stroke in patients with recently symptomatic carotid stenosis of 50% or greater, and to a lesser extent in patients with asymptomatic carotid stenosis of 60% or greater. More recent research has gone some way in identifying which patients benefit most and when intervention is most effective. Individual risk modeling has been shown to be useful in selecting patients with the most to gain from endarterectomy for symptomatic stenosis, although timely surgery and optimal medical treatment are of equal importance. Further research is required in order to determine the role of carotid stenting and to identify those individuals with asymptomatic stenosis who have the most to gain from intervention.
