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

purposeCarotid endarterectomy is a standard treatment for symptomatic high-degree internal carotid artery stenosis. The aim of this article is to present possible intimal lesions after carotid endarterectomy. These lesions could be manifested as intimal flaps, intimal steps or dissections with or without occlusion or stenosis of the artery.

methodsThe evaluation of the frequency and characteristics of the asymptomatic dissecting intimal lesions of the common carotid arteries was performed in a sample of 100 patients who underwent endarterectomy for symptomatic high-grade stenosis of the internal carotid artery.

resultsWe found five patients with asymptomatic dissecting intimal lesions of the common carotid arteries.

conclusionThe most common causes of these intimal lesions were shunting and prolongation of the clamping time. Routine carotid ultrasound follow-up exams are necessary because of the potential need for a change in the antithrombotic therapy or due to a need to perform an endovascular treatment.
