1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

aimsHistopathology is the gold standard for analysis of atherosclerotic plaques but has drawbacks due to the destructive nature of the method.

methodsSurgically resected carotid plaques from 12 patients with recent TIA or stroke were imaged at 11.7 T MRI. Quantitative T1/T2* mapping sequences and qualitative T1/T2* gradient echo sequences with voxel size of 30 × 30 × 60 μm

resultsA total of 965 ROIs, at 70 levels matched between histology and MRI, were registered based on histological staining. In the nine plaques where three or more plaque components were possible to co-localize with MRI, the mean degree of misclassification by QDA was 16.5 %. One of the plaques contained mostly fibrous tissue and lipids and had no misclassifications, and two plaques mostly contained fibrous tissue. QDA generally showed good classification for fibrous tissue and lipids, whereas plaques with hemorrhage and inflammation had more misclassifications.
