Three-dimensional ultrasonographic evaluation of carotid artery plaque surface irregularity.

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
introductionThe aim of this study was to evaluate 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasonography (US) in determining the surface irregularity of carotid artery plaques. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study included 50 patients (20 females and 30 males) aged between 56 and 82 years with plaques in the carotid artery which were detected during routine neck ultrasound. Simultaneously these cases were evaluated in terms of plaque echogenicities and surface characteristics with 2D and 3D US.
results3D imaging was successfully performed in 45 of the 50 cases and the technical success rate was 90%. A single plaque was detected in 64.4% of the patients, with the remaining 35.6% having more than one plaque. The lengths of the plaques ranged from 2 to 12 mm (mean: 3.98 ±1.70 mm); the widths ranged from 1.8 to 3.2 mm (mean: 2.11 ±0.37 mm). No significant difference was found between 2D and 3D plaque echo-structures (observer 1,
conclusionsThe present study shows that 3D US examination is a valuable non-invasive method for investigation of surface irregularity of carotid artery plaques.
