1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study investigated the relationship between carotid plaque neovascularization and diabetes mellitus (DM) by using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography was performed in 104 patients with carotid plaque thicker than 2.0 mm. There were 36 patients with DM and 68 patients without DM. The enhanced intensity in the plaque and the ratio of enhanced intensity in the plaque to that in the lumen of the carotid artery in patients with DM were significantly greater than those in patients without DM. Our study demonstrated that the enhanced intensity in patients with DM is greater than that their counterparts without DM, suggesting that carotid plaque in DM patients may have more neovessels and may be more vulnerable.
