Prevalence of concomitant atherosclerotic arterial diseases in patients with significant cervical carotid artery stenosis in Taiwan.
Article in The international journal of cardiovascular imaging, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
backgroundAtherosclerotic stenosis of extracranial carotid arteries is an important cause of ischemic stroke in Taiwan, an ethnic Chinese population. Concurrent atherosclerotic arterial disease is an important issue in the management of patients with carotid stenosis, but its prevalence and extent are unknown.
methodsOne hundred and sixty-three consecutive patients with angiographically proven significant cervical carotid artery stenosis (>or=50% stenosis) were enrolled in this study. Angiography was done to document concurrent coronary, renal, and limb artery stenosis. Clinical symptoms and signs were also correlated with the angiographic findings.
resultsOne or more significant concurrent arterial stenotic disease was found in 73% of the patients. The most frequent were coronary artery disease, found in 68% of the patients, while renal artery stenosis and limb artery stenosis were found in 20% and 21% of the patients, respectively. Age, diabetes, history of angina pectoris, intermittent claudication, and asymmetric arm blood pressures were significantly associated with the presence of concurrent arterial stenosis. However, 41% of the patients with concurrent coronary artery disease did not have any clinical symptoms or history of myocardial infarction.
conclusionsOur data indicated that concurrent advanced and extensive arterial disease is common in patients with significant cervical carotid stenosis, and also suggest the importance of global evaluation of systemic atherosclerosis in these patients to achieve optimal management.
