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

background and purposeAlthough risk factors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and atherothrombotic cerebral infarction (ACI) are common, it is unknown if the risk factors for these two conditions are similar. The purpose of our study was to elucidate differences in carotid artery atherosclerotic features between ACS and ACI.

methodsWe measured carotid artery ultrasound-based atherosclerotic parameters in 61 ACS and 33 ACI patients. In the ACS patients, 31 had single-vessel coronary artery disease (SVD) and 30 had multivessel coronary artery disease (MVD).

resultsThe maximum intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery was higher in ACS patients with MVD than in ACS patients with SVD (P < 0.05), and tended to be higher than that in ACI patients (P = 0.085). The values in ACS patients with SVD and ACI patients were similar. The maximum IMT of the carotid artery bulb in ACS patients with MVD was similar to that in both ACS patients with SVD and ACI patients. The plaque score was higher in ACS patients with MVD than in ACS patients with SVD (P < 0.01), but similar to that in ACI patients.

conclusionACS and ACI show common atherosclerotic features as assessed by carotid artery ultrasonography.
