Vessel Wall Thickening and Enhancement in High-Resolution Intracranial Vessel Wall Imaging: A Predictor of Future Ischemic Events in Moyamoya Disease.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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 purposeVery few data are available with regard to high-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging characteristics of Moyamoya disease and their relation to ischemic stroke risk. We investigated the high resolution imaging characteristics of MMD and its correlation with recent ischemic events. MATERIALS AND
methodsPatients with Moyamoya disease confirmed by DSA, including patients after revascularization, were enrolled. All the patients underwent high-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging. Vessel wall thickening, enhancement, and the remodeling index of the bilateral distal ICA and proximal MCA were noted. The patients were followed up at 3 months and 6 months after high-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging and the association of ischemic events with imaging characteristics was assessed.
resultsTwenty-nine patients with Moyamoya disease were enrolled. The median age at symptom onset was 12 years (range, 1-51 years). A total of 166 steno-occlusive lesions were detected by high-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging. Eleven lesions with concentric wall thickening (6.6%) were noted in 9 patients. Ten concentric contrast-enhancing lesions were observed in 8 patients, of which 3 patients (4 lesions) showed grade II enhancement. The presence of contrast enhancement (
conclusionsHigh-resolution intracranial vessel wall imaging characteristics of concentric wall thickening and enhancement are relatively rare in our cohort of patients with Moyamoya disease. The presence of wall thickening and enhancement may predict future ischemic events in patients with Moyamoya disease.
