Evaluation of the association between silent ischemic lesions and stent design in carotid stenting applications.

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
objectiveMinor ischemic events and silent ischemic lesions are more common in carotid stenting than in endarterectomy. These silent ischemic lesions are also associated with stroke risk and cognitive impairment, so it is important to understand the factors that increase the risk and develop strategies to reduce the risk. We aimed to evaluate the association between carotid stent design and silent ischemic lesion development.
methodsThe files of the patients who underwent carotid stenting between January 2020 and April 2022 were scanned. Patients with diffusion MR images taken within the postoperative 24 h were included in the study, while those undergoing acute stent placement were excluded. The patients were divided into two groups: those with open-cell stents and those with closed-cell stents.
resultsA total of 65 patients, including 39 patients undergoing open-cell stenting and 26 patients undergoing closed-cell stenting, were included in the study. There was no significant difference in demographic data and vascular risk factors between the groups. New ischemic lesions were detected in 29 (74.4%) patients in the open-cell stent group and 10 (38.4%) patients in the closed-cell stent group and were significantly higher in the open-cell group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of major and minor ischemic events and stent restenosis at the 3-month follow-up.
conclusionThe rate of new ischemic lesion development was found to be significantly higher in carotid stent procedures performed with an open-cell Protégé stent than in those performed with a closed-cell Wallstent stent.
