Haemodynamic alterations in cerebral blood vessels after carotid artery revascularisation: quantitative analysis using 2D phase-contrast MRI.
Trial report in European radiology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectivesThis study was conducted to evaluate the effect of revascularisation, whether revascularisation improves total cerebral blood flow volume (FVTCBF), and how cerebral veins would respond to altered FVTCBF.
methodsThe 39 carotid artery stenoses in 37 patients who underwent revascularisation including 32 stentings and 7 endarterectomies were included in this prospective study. From the two-dimensional phase-contrast (2D-PC) MRI acquired before and after revascularisation, the flow volumes (FVs) of the arteries and veins were compared using paired t-test. The relationships between these parameters were correlated using Pearson's correlation coefficient.
resultsThe mean FV in the treated carotid artery (proportion of treated artery among total FV) increased from 162.06 ml/min (25.80 %) to 267.71 ml/min (37.21 %; P < 0.001). Revascularisation increased the FVTCBF of patients from 638.66 ml/min to 716.72 ml/min (P < 0.001). The FV of the internal jugular veins, superior sagittal and straight sinuses (FVSS + SSS), and transverse sinuses increased after revascularisation (P < 0.05). Positive relationships were shown between the FVTCBF and the FVSS + SSS (r = 0.584-0.741, P < 0.001).
conclusionsRevascularisation improves the FVTCBF by increasing the FV in the treated carotid artery. The venous drainages are closely linked to FVTCBF. 2D-PC-MRI is a feasible method for evaluating comprehensively the haemodynamic improvement after revascularisation. KEY POINTS: • Revascularisation may be beneficial in ischaemic strokes due to carotid artery stenosis. • Revascularisation of the affected artery increases total cerebral blood flow volume ( FV TCBF). • Cerebral venous drainage, closely linked to FV TCBF, is also improved. • Two-dimensional phase-contrast MRI can comprehensively assess these haemodynamic improvements after carotid revascularisation.
