Vessel wall MR imaging of intracranial atherosclerosis.
Review in Cardiovascular diagnosis and therapy, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke worldwide. Along with high recurrent stroke risk from ICAD, its association with cognitive decline and dementia leads to a substantial decrease in quality of life and a high economic burden. Atherosclerotic lesions can range from slight wall thickening with plaques that are angiographically occult to severely stenotic lesions. Recent advances in intracranial high resolution vessel wall MR (VW-MR) imaging have enabled imaging beyond the lumen to characterize the vessel wall and its pathology. This technique has opened new avenues of research for identifying vulnerable plaque in the setting of acute ischemic stroke as well as assessing ICAD burden and its associations with its sequela, such as dementia. We now understand more about the intracranial arterial wall, its ability to remodel with disease and how we can use VW-MR to identify angiographically occult lesions and assess medical treatment responses, for example, to statin therapy. Our growing understanding of ICAD with intracranial VW-MR imaging can profoundly impact diagnosis, therapy, and prognosis for ischemic stroke with the possibility of lesion-based risk models to tailor and personalize treatment. In this review, we discuss the advantages of intracranial VW-MR imaging for ICAD, the potential of bioimaging markers to identify vulnerable intracranial plaque, and future directions of artificial intelligence and its utility for lesion scoring and assessment.
