Practice Current: How do you manage patients with a "hot carotid"?
Article in Neurology. Clinical practice, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Patients presenting with acutely symptomatic carotid stenosis (a "hot carotid") are known to be at a high up-front risk of recurrent strokes. Uncertainties remain regarding the appropriate management of such patients in the acute period, particularly with respect to anti-thrombotic treatment as they await revascularisation with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) or angioplasty/stenting (CAS). Decision-making is further complicated when intraluminal thrombi are encountered on vessel imaging. Given these uncertainties, and the paucity of high-quality data in the literature, we sought expert opinion from around the globe on how to manage patients with a "hot carotid" as they await CEA/CAS, with a focus on anti-thrombotic treatment options. Similar questions were posed to the rest of our readership in an online survey, the results of which are also presented.
