Vessel wall differences between middle cerebral artery and basilar artery plaques on magnetic resonance imaging.
Article in Scientific reports, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
A recent study showed that posterior circulation plaques have a greater capacity for positive remodeling in a non-Asian population. We aimed to investigate if the features of plaques in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were different from those in the basilar artery (BA) in a northern Chinese population. We retrospectively analysed the records of 71 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke. All patients had at least one MCA or BA plaque with early or mild (<50% stenosis) atherosclerosis identified using vessel wall magnetic resonance imaging. The remodeling ratio, eccentricity index, and plaque range were compared between MCA and BA plaques using multilevel analysis. A total of 101 plaques were included. There were 70 plaques located in the MCA and 31 plaques located in the BA. The features of non-advanced atherosclerotic plaques did not differ between the MCA and BA when accounting for the degree of stenosis or plaque burden in a northern Chinese population. Symptomatic plaques were associated with a higher eccentricity index and smaller plaque range than asymptomatic plaques under the same plaque burden. Further studies are warranted to investigate the progression of atherosclerosis in different intracranial arteries.
