Associations Between Features of Nonstenosing Carotid Plaque on Computed Tomographic Angiography and Ischemic Stroke Subtypes.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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 Thromboembolism from nonstenosing carotid plaques may be an underrecognized cause of embolic strokes of undetermined source (ESUS). We evaluated the association between features of nonstenosing atherosclerotic plaque on computed tomographic angiography and ESUS. Methods and Results We identified consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients from 2011 to 2015 who had unilateral anterior territory infarction on brain magnetic resonance imaging and a neck computed tomographic angiography. We included ESUS cases and as controls, cardioembolic strokes. Patients with ≥50% internal carotid artery atherosclerotic stenosis ipsilateral to the stroke were excluded from this analysis. Reviewers blinded to infarct location and stroke cause retrospectively evaluated computed tomographic angiography studies for specific plaque features including thickness of the total, soft, and calcified plaque; presence of ulceration; and perivascular fat attenuation.
