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

introductionAlthough filters are still preferred during carotid stenting, proximal protection systems (PPS) are increasingly used during these procedures. PPS seem to be safer than distal systems, especially in symptomatic patients, but evidence supporting their use is limited.

aimThis was a post hoc survey with 30-day mid-term and long-term follow up, which was aimed at assessment of the safety and efficacy of stenting of the internal carotid artery under PPS in symptomatic patients. MATERIAL AND

methodsWe analysed the results of stenting in 120 symptomatic patients presenting with at least 60% stenosis. Patients were aged 67.9 ±9.8 years, and 12 patients were older than 80 years. An occlusion of contralateral artery was found in 5 patients and bilateral stenosis in 26 patients. The primary endpoint of this study was the proportion of patients who had new neurological events, including transient ischemic attack and minor or major stroke in 30-day follow-up. The secondary endpoint was a composite of technical and clinical success. During long-term follow-up we assessed new neurological events and stenoses of implanted stents.

resultsThe incidence of new neurological events during 30-day follow-up was 0.8%. The rate of technical success defined by secondary endpoint was 100%. Mean internal carotid artery stenosis before and after stent implantation was 93.8 ±9% and 8.4 ±6.3%, respectively (p < 0.001). Procedural success was achieved in all cases. During long-term follow-up there were two (1.7%) asymptomatic in-stent stenoses and no (0%) new neurological events.

conclusionsEndovascular management of symptomatic carotid stenosis under PPS is safe, feasible, and appears to be a good alternative to surgical endarterectomy.
