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

objectiveThe purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) surgery under regional anesthesia and to report early mid-term results.

methodsData for 42 patients who underwent CEA were reviewed retrospectively between January 2013 and June 2015. Of the patients, 60% (n=25) were male and 40% (n=17) were female. The mean age was 74.03 years. Early and midterm mortality, intraoperative stroke, and complication rates were calculated by reviewing patient's data at the end of 2 years.

resultsThe level of carotid stenosis was over 70% in 83% (n=35) of the patients. Seventeen percent (n=7) of the patients had 60% carotid stenosis. Forty patients received regional anesthesia and two patients received general anesthesia. The mean cross-clamp time was 13.08 min. The mean operation time was 53.09 min. No early post-operative deaths occurred. The midterm (24 months) mortality rate was 2% (n=1). Recurrent atheromatous plaque was found in 2% (n=1) of the patients.

conclusionOur study demonstrated that CEA surgery may be safely performed under regional anesthesia will acceptable low mortality and morbidity rate.
