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

Measurements of the vessel lumen diameter are often used to determine the degree of atherosclerotic disease in carotid arteries. However, quantification results vary with imaging technique and acquisition settings. We aim at providing a tool that quantifies the lumen diameter on different image datasets and gives an estimate of quantification uncertainties, so that they can be taken into consideration when evaluating and comparing measurements. For the segmentation of the vessel lumen, we present an algorithm using ray-casting techniques and partial volume correction. We furthermore propose a scheme for the analysis and exploration of the lumen diameter. Finally, we present a clinically relevant application scenario, in which we explore agreement between lumen diameter estimations in corresponding computed tomography angiography, contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography, time-of-flight, and subtraction images of carotid vessels with severe carotid atherosclerotic plaques.
