Irregular surface of carotid atherosclerotic plaque is associated with ischemic stroke: a magnetic resonance imaging study.
Article in Journal of geriatric cardiology : JGC, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo determine the association between the irregularity of carotid plaque surface using multidimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of ipsilateral acute cerebral infarction (ACI) cases.
methodsPatients with recent cerebrovascular symptoms (stroke or transient ischemic attack < 2 weeks) and atherosclerotic plaque in at least one carotid artery were diagnosed by B-mode ultrasound imaging (intima-media thickness ≥ 1.5 mm) and recruited for the present study. Irregular surface was defined when plaque surface was uneven with high and low fluctuation or plaque with surface ulceration. The irregularity of carotid plaque surface was determined on axial or oblique images alone (single-dimension) and on both axial images and oblique images (multidimensions), separately. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and the corresponding 95% CI of the irregular plaque surface in discriminating the presence of ipsilateral ACI.
resultsA total of 217 included subjects (mean age: 60.7 ± 10.2 years, 149 men) were recruited and 89 (41.0%), 88 (40.6%) and 118 (54.4%) of them exhibited irregular plaque surface on axial, oblique and multidimensional MR images, respectively. The OR of irregularity of the plaque surface was determined by multidimensional MRI to be 5.88 (95% CI: 3.16-10.96,
conclusionsThe irregular plaque surface was determined by multidimensional MRI as an independent indicator for ipsilateral acute cerebral infarction.
