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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the influence of carotid artery stenting (CAS) on the cognition and quality of life of elderly patients with severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. MATERIAL/

methods65 elderly patients with symptomatic severe stenosis of internal carotid artery were recruited into 2 groups: the pharmacotherapy group (n=29) and the CAS group (n=36). Before surgery and 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery, Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) was used for the evaluation of cognition and WHOQOL-BREF was used for the assessment of quality of life.

resultsAt 12 months after surgery, total MoCA score and WHOQOL-BREF score in the pharmacotherapy group was significantly reduced when compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). In the CAS group, the total MoCA score, scores of attention and delayed recall, and WHOQOL-BREF score increased significantly at different time points after surgery when compared with those before surgery (P<0.05). Moreover, in CAS group, the MoCA score and WHOQOL-BREF markedly increased gradually over time (P<0.05). Compared with the pharmacotherapy group, cognition and quality of life in the CAS group were improved dramatically during the follow-up period (P<0.05).

conclusionsSevere stenosis of the internal carotid artery is a cause of cognition impairment, and CAS may improve cognition and quality of life.
