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 purposeRestenosis is an important determinant of the long-term efficacy of carotid endarterectomy. Our aim was to assess the role of high-resolution vessel wall MR imaging for characterizing restenosis after carotid endarterectomy. MATERIALS AND

methodsPatients who underwent vessel wall MR imaging after carotid endarterectomy were included in this study. Restenotic lesions were classified as myointimal hyperplasia or recurrent atherosclerotic plaques based on MR imaging features of lesion compositions. Imaging characteristics of myointimal hyperplasia were compared with those of normal post-carotid endarterectomy and recurrent plaque groups. Recurrent plaques were matched with primary plaques by categories of stenosis, and differences in plaque features were compared between the 2 groups.

resultsTwenty-two recurrent lesions from 18 patients (14 unilateral and 4 bilateral) were classified as myointimal hyperplasia or recurrent plaque. Myointimal hyperplasia showed no difference in enhancement compared with normal post-carotid endarterectomy vessels (5 unilateral) but showed stronger enhancement than recurrent plaques (80.10% [SD, 42.42%] versus 56.74% [SD, 46.54%],

conclusionsVessel wall MR imaging can distinguish recurrent plaques from myointimal hyperplasia and reveal features that may differ between primary and recurrent plaques, highlighting its value for evaluating patients with carotid restenosis.
