Management of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis.
Article in Current treatment options in cardiovascular medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
opinion statementPatients with atherosclerotic asymptomatic carotid artery disease are at a heightened risk of major adverse cardiovascular events including ischemic stroke. Intensive risk factor modification, including lifestyle interventions and the use of evidence based medical therapies, reduces the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in this population. Carefully selected patients with severe asymptomatic carotid stenosis may benefit from carotid endarterectomy or stenting. Patient and lesion characteristics may help to carefully select patients most likely to benefit from revascularization. Emerging therapies, including novel lipid lowering therapies, anti-platelet therapies, and anti-coagulant therapies, may further reduce the risk of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with stable atherosclerotic disease. The most important aspect of the management of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis is reducing the overall cardiovascular risk of the patient.
