Usefulness of Plaque Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Identifying High-Risk Carotid Plaques Irrespective of the Degree of Stenosis.
Article in Journal of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
objectiveMeasurement of the degree of stenosis is not enough to decide on the treatment strategy for patients with carotid stenosis. Plaque morphology examination is needed for such a decision-making. Thus, we evaluated the usefulness of plaque magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to decide on the modality of treatment for patients with carotid atherosclerotic plaques. MATERIALS AND
methodsFifteen patients presenting with carotid stenosis between 2014 and 2016 were included. They underwent angiography for measurement of the degree of stenosis. Carotid plaques were visualized using MRI.
resultsThere were six (40%) stable and nine (60%) unstable plaques. Seven symptomatic patients (77.7%) had unstable lesions and two symptomatic patients (33.3%) had stable lesions (
conclusionIPH in plaque MRI is significantly associated with ischemic symptoms and has a high risk for subsequent ischemic cerebrovascular events irrespective of the degree of stenosis. Plaque MRI is a useful tool in predicting symptomatic risks for carotid stenosis irrespective of the degree of such stenosis.
