Sex-specific prediction value of common carotid artery diameter for stroke risk in a hypertensive population: a cross-sectional study.
Article in Quantitative imaging in medicine and surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe importance of sex as a risk factor for stroke has been established. This study aimed to assess sex-related disparities in carotid artery diameter and stroke in a hypertensive population.
methodsThe cross-sectional survey was conducted in rural areas of northeast China. A multistage cluster sampling method was employed to select a representative population. The study comprised 3,245 individuals with hypertension. The common carotid artery (CCA) interadventitial diameter was measured by ultrasound. A linear model of restricted cubic spline function was used to characterize the concentration-response (C-R) relationship between CCA diameter and stroke.
resultsThe overall prevalence of stroke was 8.9% among hypertensive individuals, with a higher rate in men than in women (10.8%
conclusionsThe risk of stroke increased proportionally with the enlargement of the CCA diameter in women, supporting the sex-specific value of CCA diameter in optimizing the risk stratification of stroke.
