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

introductionAtherosclerotic carotid artery stenosis (CS)-related strokes are a significant overall stroke burden contributor.

aimTo evaluate the effect of surgical (carotid endarterectomy - CEA) vs. percutaneous (neuroprotected carotid artery stenting - CAS) carotid revascularization on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in stroke survivors: analysis controlled for major HRQoL determinants beyond strokes. MATERIAL AND

methodsOur database of 856 carotid revascularization procedures (48.7% symptomatic CS) performed over 3 years showed 42 pairs (CEA-CAS) of right hemispheric stroke patients matched for age, sex, marital and educational status, hyper-tension, heart failure and diabetes, who underwent uneventful carotid revascularization, experienced no major adverse clinical events, and completed the Short Form Outcome Study (SF-36) questionnaire within 7 days before, 14 days after, 6 months after, and 12 months after carotid revascularization.

resultsBaseline HRQoL was low and similar in both groups (30.8 ±4.6% vs. 29.1 ±3.9%,

conclusionsCarotid revascularization has a major positive impact on stroke survivor patient-reported HRQoL. The improvement is initially greater in CAS, with the remaining difference small at 12 months and statistically insignificant.
