Stroke Prevention with Extracranial Carotid Artery Disease.
Review in Current cardiology reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purpose of reviewCarotid artery stenosis is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke. Although effective treatment options exist, careful assessment of benefits and risks for individual patients is needed in clinical decision-making. This article reviews contemporary treatments for carotid artery stenosis, the underlying evidence, and areas of uncertainties. RECENT
findingsSpecific recommendations are available to guide the standard of care of carotid artery stenosis. Nonetheless, significant uncertainties are noted in patient selection for surgical treatment of asymptomatic carotid stenosis and in optimal treatment targets for pharmacological therapies. Advanced imaging has been used to predict future risk of ipsilateral stroke and clarify mechanisms of actions of pharmacological therapies, primarily in observational studies. Pharmacological and surgical treatments for extracranial carotid artery stenosis continue to evolve with many relevant clinical trials completed and clinical guidelines updated in recent years. Future clinical trials to tackle the areas of uncertainties are warranted.
