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
clinical/methodical issueThe aim was to identify the risk of impending stroke originating from diseases of the carotid artery. STANDARD RADIOLOGICAL
methodsDuplex scanning is the standard method for clinical examination of carotid arteries. METHODICAL INNOVATIONS: By implementing the new standardized German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DEGUM) criteria, ultrasound examination enables reliable grading of carotid artery disease and identification of the progression of stenosis. PERFORMANCE: Current guidelines recommend duplex scanning as the standard method. In consequence of finding atherosclerosis, intensive monitoring and therapy of cardiovascular risk factors is mandatory. In cases showing rapid progression of stenosis or a very high degree of stenosis indicating increased risk of stroke, carotid endarterectomy or stenting is warranted. ACHIEVEMENTS: Detection of carotid artery atherosclerosis is uncomplicated and the method is not demanding; however, identification of high-risk carotid disease by exact grading of carotid stenosis requires investigation by an experienced examiner. PRACTICAL RECOMMENDATIONS: Screening is recommended for patients exhibiting cardiovascular risk factors but is not recommended for the general population. On detection of carotid stenosis an exact grading of stenosis by an experienced examiner is absolutely essential.
