Long-term outcomes of carotid stenting in a single neurovascular center: up to 12-year retrospective analysis with a focus on the influence of comorbidities.

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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to evaluate long-term outcomes in patients who underwent carotid artery stenting (CAS) for symptomatic or asymptomatic high-grade stenosis.
methodsA total of 1158 patients (asymptomatic, n = 636; symptomatic, n = 522) underwent CAS at our center between 2009 and 2020. A total of 560 patients or contacts (asymptomatic, n = 316; symptomatic, n = 244) were interviewed by telephone to evaluate long-term outcomes with a mean follow-up of 5 years. Mortality from all causes, myocardial infarction, and stroke, as well as comorbidities influencing their occurrence, including overall survival and stroke-free survival, were examined.
resultsThe overall survival rate for all-cause mortality was 91.6% at 1 year, 77.1% at 5 years, and 55.7% at 10 years. A total of 39 (6.9%) patients had an ischemic stroke during long-term follow-up. The stroke-free survival rates at 1 year, 5 years, and 10 years were 97.9%, 92.7%, and 86.6%, respectively. Stroke-free survival and overall survival did not differ significantly between the symptomatic and asymptomatic groups (overall survival, p = 0.304; stroke-free survival, p = 0.336). Regular physical activity reduced the risk of stroke and death and was associated with better long-term clinical outcomes. Age at treatment and diabetes mellitus were statistically significantly associated with death during follow-up.
conclusionLong-term follow-up data confirmed the effectiveness and durability of CAS as a therapy option for both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. In patient selection for CAS, special consideration should be paid to patient age, ability to engage in physical activity, and diabetes mellitus.
