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

The aim of this study was to assess the relation between location and type of intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) and cortical microinfarcts (CMIs) and macroinfarcts in 18 patients presenting with ischemic stroke (n = 12) or transient ischemic attack (TIA) (n = 6) using 7 tesla MR imaging. The protocol included: 3D T2-weighted FLAIR and 3D T1-weighted Magnetization-Preparation Inversion Recovery Turbo Spin Echo sequence. ICAS lesions and infarcts were scored by two raters. The relation between ICAS lesions, calculated ratios of ICAS lesion characteristics, location, and infarcts were examined using linear regression analyses. A total number of 75 ICAS lesions (all patients), 101 CMIs (78% of patients), and 31 macroinfarcts (67% of patients) were found. Seventy-six and sixty-five percent of the CMIs and macroinfarcts, respectively, were found in the same vascular territory as the ICAS lesions (p = 0.977, p = 0.167, respectively). A positive correlation existed between the number of macroinfarcts and CMIs (p < 0.05). In patients with macroinfarcts, we found more concentric (p < 0.01) and diffuse (p < 0.05) type of ICAS lesions. A high prevalence of brain tissue lesions, both macroinfarcts and CMIs, were found in patients with ICAS. Macroinfarcts were found to be related to specific ICAS lesion types. The type of ICAS lesion seems to be promising as a marker for ICAS patients at higher risk of future infarcts.
