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 treatment strategy and the correct incidence of near occlusion (NO) of the internal carotid artery (ICA) is still controversial. In routine radiological imaging NO can easily be misdiagnosed as complete occlusion and there is no consensus on the standard treatment strategy. PURPOSE: To present our perioperative and long-term follow-up results of ICA NO patients treated with carotid artery stenting (CAS). MATERIAL AND

methodsBetween 2004-2014 a total of 182 patients with ICA NO were evaluated for CAS. The study included 132 male (72.5 %) and 50 female (27.5 %) patients with a mean age of 70.2 years. Patients underwent a clinical neurological evaluation and radiological imaging of the carotid arteries before the CAS procedure. Of the patients 80 (44 %) were asymptomatic. The median clinical and carotid Doppler ultrasound (DUS) follow-up period was 64 months (range 18-124 months).

resultsIn 182 patients CAS were performed, 4 patients (2.2 %) developed minor stroke, 2 patients (1.1 %) developed myocardial infarction but no major stroke or death occurred in the following 30-day period. Asymptomatic restenosis was detected in seven patients (3.8 %) in the follow-up period.

conclusionWith sufficient neurological evaluation during pretreatment and posttreatment periods and when the procedure is performed with technologically developed products by an experienced interventional team, CAS is beneficial in patients with ICA NO.
