Evaluation of carotid artery elasticity in patients with uremia by echo tracking.
Article in Journal of medical ultrasonics (2001), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to compare the carotid artery wall elasticity between patients with uremia and controls using echo tracking (ET).
methodsNinety-three patients with uremia and 35 control subjects (Group A) were enrolled in this study. In the ET mode, the carotid artery elasticity parameters including stiffness index (β), pressure-strain elasticity modulus (EP), arterial compliance (AC), and one-point pulse wave velocity (PWVβ) were measured, and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) was measured with B-mode ultrasonography. The patients were classified into three groups: Group B (normal IMT), Group C (thickened IMT), and Group D (one single atheroma plaque).
resultsβ, EP, and PWVβ were significantly higher in Group B, C, and D (especially in group D) than those of the control group (P < 0.05), and there were significant differences between Group A and Group B, while AC was lower than in controls, but there were no statistically significant differences among the four groups.
conclusionsET is a noninvasive method that can demonstrate a loss in carotid artery elasticity in uremia patients with normal IMT.
