Dolichoectasia and the risk of stroke and vascular disease: a critical appraisal.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Dolichoectasia (DE) in cerebral arteries is a poorly understood arteriopathy that has been associated with increased risk of vascular morbidity and mortality. Dolichoectasia tends to affects older individuals with vascular risk factors, but it can also be secondary to specific conditions related with extracellular matrix health. The range of methods used to study DE and the biases inherent to hospital-based samples weaken the generalizability of DE study results to the general population. Within the context of these limitations, there is growing evidence that DE is a serious condition that can increase the risk of vascular death. Recurrent strokes and compressive symptoms are among the major causes of morbidity, but cardiac ischemic disease and aortic aneurysms are not uncommon in populations with DE. The devastating outcomes of patients with DE are a call to action aimed at improving the quality of research on the topic and discovering therapies that can palliate the burden of DE in the population.
