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

backgroundArterial calcification in the aortic arch, carotid bifurcation, or siphon on computed tomography was associated with cardiovascular disease. The association between arterial calcification prevalence and progression of branch atheromatous disease (BAD) in intracranial artery atherosclerosis was little investigated.

methodsThis study included 310 patients with ischemic stroke from one stroke center. Patients were divided into BAD (110) and non-BAD groups (200). Baseline characteristics, lipids, and arterial calcification were measured. The primary outcome was the prevalence of arterial calcification in BAD progression, and the secondary outcome was the prevalence of calcification in arterial stenosis. The association or correlation among calcification prevalence, lipid markers, and BAD progression was analyzed using logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic curve, and linear regression.

resultsOur study found that carotid siphon calcification on computed angiography was more prevalent (

conclusionsWe found that carotid siphon calcification was associated with BAD and its computed tomography values could predict the symptomatic progression in patients with intracranial arterial atherosclerotic disease and BAD, indicating the important role of carotid calcification in B-type intracranial arterial atherosclerotic disease.
