Association Between Carotid Artery Perivascular Fat Density and Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
aimThis study aims to retrospectively evaluate the association between pericarotid inflammation and the presence of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS).
methodsIn total, 126 patients with ESUS and 118 patients with ischemic stroke from large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) were enrolled. All the patients underwent brain MRI and a neck CT angiography (CTA) examination. Reviewers were blinded to infarct location and stroke cause. Paired
resultsIn both the ESUS cases and LAA ischemic stroke cases, the pericarotid fat density around the carotid artery ipsilateral to the stroke significantly increased compared with contralateral stroke position in both the groups (ESUS cases -56.31 ± 18.70 vs. -67.31 ± 20.01,
conclusionWe found increased density in the fat surrounding carotid artery ipsilateral to stroke compared with contralateral in ESUS, suggesting the presence of an inflammatory reaction that extends beyond the vessel lumen in patients with ESUS with a risk factor profile similar to LAA strokes.
