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

purposeThe Carotid WALLSTENT (CWS) and Filter-Wire EZ (FWEZ) embolic protection devices for use in carotid arterial stenting (CAS) were newly approved for national health insurance coverage in Japan in April 2010. This article describes our initial experience of CAS using the CWS and FWEZ. MATERIAL AND

methodsA group of 14 patients (12 men, 2 women; mean age 70.1 years, range 59-83 years) with 15 carotid artery stenoses at high risk for carotid endarterectomy were treated by CAS using the CWS and FWEZ. Of these stenoses, 5 were symptomatic with ≥50% stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery (ICA), and 10 were asymptomatic with ≥80% stenosis. The rates of technical success, ICA flow impairment during filter protection, periprocedural ischemic stroke, 30-day major adverse events (MAEs) (stroke, death, myocardial infarction), and development of new ischemic lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) were assessed.

resultsCAS was successful in all cases. There was no ICA flow impairment, periprocedural ischemic stroke, or MAEs. DWI showed new ipsilateral ischemic lesions in only one patient (6.7%).

conclusionOur initial clinical experience using the CWS and FEWZ for CAS was generally excellent, and the incidence of postprocedural ischemic lesions was low.
