Association between Carotid Plaque and Cognitive Impairment in Chinese Stroke Population: The SOS-Stroke Study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
We aimed to investigate the association between carotid plaques and cognitive impairment among patients with acute ischemic stroke, and to assess key clinical implications. In the Acute Ischemic Stroke Study, patients who received a cognitive testing and underwent complete carotid artery ultrasound scans were included. Cognitive function was measured by the mini-mental state examination. The cross-sectional relationships between cognitive impairment and carotid plaques were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Of the 3116 patients included in this study, 826 (26.51%) patients were diagnosed with cognitive impairment. After adjusting for potential confounders, patients with ≥2 carotid plaques (odds ratio [OR] = 1.47; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-1.82), patients with ≥2 number of carotid arteries with plaque (OR = 1.48; 95% CI: 1.19-1.84) and patients with hypoechoic plaque (OR = 2.05; 95% CI: 1.24-3.38) are more likely to have cognitive impairment. In this acute ischemic stroke population, the number of carotid plaques, the number of carotid arteries with plaque and plaque stability are all associated with cognitive impairment.
