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

Extracranial carotid artery disease is typical at the carotid bifurcation and internal carotid artery (ICA) and is rarely symptomatic from isolated common carotid artery (CCA) stenosis. We present the case of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with a transient ischemic attack (TIA) with significant stenosis of the ipsilateral CCA only, without any involvement of the ICA or bifurcation. This was treated with carotid endarterectomy (CEA) with desirable postoperative outcomes; at up to six months postoperative follow-up, this patient had no recurrence of symptoms. We draw attention to the current gap in the literature with regard to a lack of specific guidelines for optimal evidence-based surgical treatment for this specific condition, with recent advances within certain vascular societies.
