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

aimTo investigate the association between the volumes of different aging intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) and minor fibrous cap disruption (MFCD) in carotid arteries.

methodsPatients with cerebrovascular symptoms and carotid atherosclerotic plaques determined by ultrasound were recruited and underwent multi-contrast magnetic resonance (MR) vessel wall imaging for carotid arteries. Carotid plaques with IPH on MR imaging were included in the analysis. The age (fresh or recent) and the volume of IPH for each plaque were evaluated.

resultsIn total, 41 carotid plaques in 37 patients (mean age 70.2±11.0 years old; 32 males) were eligible for statistical analysis. The absolute volume of fresh IPH in plaques with MFCD was significantly larger than that in plaques without MFCD (109.83±75.49 mm

conclusionThe volume of fresh IPH is independently associated with MFCD in carotid plaques, suggesting that integrity of fibrous cap may change with different age and size of IPH.
