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
Safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting have still to be fully established. We propose a standardized registry of carotid artery stenting in use at our hospital to evaluate whether the presence of an independent neurologist performing basal, procedural and post-procedural observation increases the accuracy of outcome assessment. We collected a cohort of patients receiving carotid stenting. An external neurologist supervised the endovascular intervention and monitored the patient's clinical conditions during procedure and follow-up time (12 months). The procedure was carried out successfully in all cases. We registered two intra-procedural strokes and two strokes within 24 h. The risk of major complications in our study was 9.1% at 30 days. Our complication rate is higher than in previous studies. These findings could be partly explained by the unemployment of distal protection devices, but also by the presence of an independent observer that might have increased the accuracy of neurological evaluation.
