Carotid Plaque CTA Analysis in Symptomatic Subjects with Bilateral Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage: A Preliminary Analysis.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
background and purposeThe presence of IPH is considered the most dangerous feature because it is significantly associated with clinical ipsilateral cerebrovascular events. Our aim was to explore the characterization of plaque with CT in symptomatic subjects with bilateral intraplaque hemorrhage. MATERIALS AND
methodsThree-hundred-forty-three consecutive patients with recent anterior circulation ischemic events (<2 weeks) and CT of the carotid arteries (performed within 14 days of the cerebrovascular event) evaluated between June 2012 and September 2017 were analyzed for plaque volume composition to identify all subjects with bilateral intraplaque hemorrhage. Plaque volume was semiautomatically measured, and tissue components were classified according to the attenuation values such as the following: calcified (for values of ≥130 HU), mixed (for values of ≥60 and <130 HU), lipid (for values of ≥25 and <60 HU), and intraplaque hemorrhage (for values of <25 HU). Twenty-one subjects (15 men; mean age, 70 ± 11 years; range, 44-87 years) had bilateral intraplaque hemorrhage and were included in the analysis.
resultsVolume measurement revealed significantly larger plaques on the symptomatic side compared with the asymptomatic one (mean, 28 ± 9 versus 22 ± 8 mm,
conclusionsIn patients with bilateral intraplaque hemorrhage and recent ischemic symptoms, the plaque ipsilateral to the symptomatic side has significantly larger volume and a higher percentage of intraplaque hemorrhage compared with the contralateral, asymptomatic side.
