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

CT angiography can be used to evaluate carotid artery stenosis with high diagnostic safety. In contrast to the gold standard digital subtraction angiography (DSA) it is a non-invasive procedure which yields information regarding the degree of stenosis as well as information about plaque morphology. Due to multiple reconstruction planes in 3 levels in maximum intensity projections (MIP) and the possibility to perform volume rendering (VR) reconstruction more information about the extent of carotid disease can be acquired. Due to the bolus tracking technique optimum contrast medium enhancement of the carotid artery with simultaneous minimization of venous artifacts is possible.
