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

Hemodynamic wall shear stress (WSS) plays an important role in the initiation and progression of carotid atherosclerosis. This study aims at developing a technique to model WSS distribution based on point-wise geometric features that can be efficiently computed. Computational fluid dynamic analysis was performed for ten subjects. Surface curvatures, vascular radius, rate of change of radius along the longitudinal direction and standardized longitudinal/circumferential coordinates were computed on a point-wise basis for the arteries. Each of these point-wise geometric parameters was transformed to maximize the adjusted correlation coefficient. The transformed geometric parameters subsequently served as input variables of a multiple regression model. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant relationship ([Formula: see text]) between WSS and three geometric parameters in internal and external carotid arteries (ICA and ECA). These three geometric parameters include vascular radius (ICA: [Formula: see text], ECA: [Formula: see text]), standardized longitudinal/circumference coordinates (ICA: [Formula: see text], ECA: [Formula: see text]) and Gaussian curvature (ICA: [Formula: see text], ECA: [Formula: see text]). The results suggest that the proposed geometric parameters can serve as risk indicator in large-scale clinical studies aiming at elucidating the roles of local geometric risk of atherosclerosis.
