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

To investigate flow conditions in a double-layered carotid artery stent, a bench-top in vitro flow setup including a bifurcation phantom was designed and fabricated. The geometry of the tissue-mimicking phantom was based on healthy individuals. Two identical phantoms were created using 3D-printing techniques and molding with PVA-gel. In one of them, a clinically available CGuard double-layer stent was inserted. Measurements were performed using both continuous and pulsatile flow conditions. Blood flow studies were performed using echoPIV: a novel ultrasound-based technique combined with particle image velocimetry. A maximum deviation of 3% was visible between desired and measured flow patterns. The echoPIV measurements showed promising results on visualization and quantification of blood flow in and downstream the stent. Further research could demonstrate the effects of a double-layered stent on blood flow patterns in a carotid bifurcation in detail.
