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

objectiveThis paper presents the use of the texture matching method to measure the rabbit carotid artery elasticity value of the experimental group and control group respectively. It compares the experimental rabbits, when they are prompted by pathological histology to be at the period of carotid atherosclerosis fatty streaks and fiber plaques, with the control group.

methodsWe have used ultrasound linear array probe for scanning the rabbit carotid arteries. This allows us to obtain the wall shear stress (WSS) and the elasticity values in the atherosclerotic arteries. Using statistical analysis, we are able to clarify whether the texture matching method can diagnose atherosclerosis at the early stage. We also analyze the rabbit carotid artery elasticity and WSS values to make sure whether there is a correlation between both. Combining the texture matching method with the WSS quantitative analysis in the future can enable better prediction of the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis by using noninvasive medical imaging techniques.

resultsThis study has confirmed that from the 2nd to the 10th week, with the development of atherosclerosis, the arterial WSS reduction has a negative correlation with the increasing of artery wall elasticity, which means that as the arterial WSS decreases the arterial wall becomes less elastic. Correlating shear stress with atherosclerosis can clarify that WSS can be used as one of the effective parameters of early diagnosis of atherosclerosis.

conclusionIn summary, we have found that the elasticity value can reflect the degree of atherosclerosis more objectively. Therefore, by using noninvasive imaging, the quantitative analysis of shear stress and combined with texture matching method can assist in the early diagnosis of atherosclerosis.
