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

introductionCarotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure done to prevent future embolic stroke in patients with internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Conventional CEA (c-CEA) and eversion CEA (e-CEA) are two surgical techniques used for the above. As carotid shunt is rarely used in e-CEA, a certain amount of cerebral ischemia occurs in patients who were already having carotid stenosis. In this study, we have evaluated the outcome of two surgical techniques in severe carotid stenosis and impact of carotid shunting on the postoperative outcome. MATERIALS AND

methodsIn this single-center prospective nonrandomized trial, a total of 62 patients who underwent CEA (c-CEA,

resultsA total of 62 patients who underwent CEA (c-CEA,

conclusionOur study showed that the early outcomes of both c-CEA and e-CEA techniques are comparable. The routine insertion of carotid shunt even though decreases the cerebral ischemic time, it does not offer any additional advantage of decreasing perioperative stroke. The choice of the CEA technique depends on the experience and familiarity of the individual surgeon as both the techniques have their own advantages and disadvantages.
