Measurement of subclinical carotid atherosclerosis may help in predicting risk for stroke in patients with diabetes.
Article in Metabolic brain disease, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Diabetes is one of the most important risk factor for stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in young patients. The control of classical vascular risk factors failed in terms of prevention of stroke in patients with diabetes. In addiction, in these patients the glycemic control showed a benefit on microvascular disease but lacked an established benefit in macrovascular disease. Therefore, implementations of effective stroke prevention strategies appear necessary in patients with diabetes. Ultrasound surrogate or intermediate markers of carotid atherosclerosis include carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid plaque (CP), and carotid stiffness (STIFF) have been demonstrated to increase in patients with diabetes and to be able to predict risk for stroke. In this editorial we discuss the opportunity to prevent the onset of vascular disease in their "preclinical or subclinical" stage in patients with higher risk for stroke such as diabetic patients.
