The current management of carotid atherosclerotic disease: who, when and how?
Review in Interactive cardiovascular and thoracic surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Ischaemic stroke represents a major health hazard in the western world, which has a severe impact on society and the health-care system. Roughly, 10% of all first ischaemic strokes can be attributed to significant atherosclerotic disease of the carotid arteries. Correct management of these lesions is essential in the prevention and treatment of carotid disease-related ischaemic events. The close relationship between diagnosis and medical and surgical management makes it necessary that all involved physicians and surgeons have profound knowledge of management strategies beyond their specific speciality. Continuous improvement in pharmacological therapy and operative techniques as well as frequently changing guidelines represent a constant challenge for the individual health-care professional. This review gives a thorough outline of the up-to-date evidence-based management of carotid artery disease and discusses its current controversies.
