Evaluation of carotid artery stenosis with multisection CT and MR imaging: influence of imaging modality and postprocessing.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
background and purposeWe prospectively evaluated the influence of different imaging techniques (time-of-flight MR angiography [TOF-MRA], contrast-enhanced MR angiography [CE-MRA], multisection CT angiography [CTA]) and postprocessing methods (maximum intensity projection [MIP], multiplanar reformation [MPR]) on carotid artery stenosis grading. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifty patients (34 men, 16 women) with symptomatic stenosis of the internal carotid artery were examined with a 16-section spiral CT and a 1.5T MR unit. Two MRA techniques were applied: 3D-TOF and CE-MRA. MPR was used for postprocessing with all modalities; MIP was used only with MRA. Four readers measured and calculated the percentage diameter stenosis independently according to NASCET criteria. The Wilcoxon test was used to measure interobserver variability, and the Friedman test was used to test the null-hypothesis of equality of the modalities.
resultsThe hypothesis for global equality was rejected (P < .001). TOF-MRA and CTA assessed with MPR showed the highest concordance (difference, 0.6%; confidence interval [CI], -3.0, 4.3%), and CE-MRA with MIP and CTA showed the lowest concordance in stenosis grading (difference, 7.0%; CI, 3.4, 10.6%). MPR resulted in lower degrees of stenosis than MIP for both MRA sequences, although not statistically significant (CE, -3.0%; CI, -6.6, 0.6%; TOF, -2.2%; CI, -5.8, 1.4%). When only studies with good or excellent image quality were considered, the differences decreased, but the trends remained.
conclusionStenosis grading is dependent on the examination method and postprocessing technique. CTA and TOF-MRA evaluated with MPR revealed highest concordance.
