Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Evaluation of Retinal Microvasculature Before and After Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 37 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
The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) on retinal microvasculature using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) in patients with severe carotid stenosis. 20 patients with severe carotid stenosis underwent comprehensive ophthalmic examinations and OCTA before and one month after CAS. Automated algorithms were used to quantify vessel density in the macular superficial vascular complex (SVC), deep vascular complex (DVC), and radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) around the optic disc. Eyes on the operated side constituted the ipsilateral eye group, and the other eye constituted the fellow eye group. In the ipsilateral eye group, the vessel density in the DVC increased significantly after stent implantation (P = 0.010), but the vessel density change in the SVC was not statistically different (P = 0.999). In the fellow eye group, the vessel density in the SVC (P = 0.028) and DVC (P = 0.034) were significantly increased after stent implantation. The vessel density in the RPC did not significantly change in the ipsilateral (P = 0.363) or fellow (P = 0.878) eye groups. This study shows that unilateral CAS for severe carotid stenosis increases macular vessel densities in both eyes.
