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

introductionCarotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical procedure that carries a rare but serious risk of patch infection. This study examines the management and outcomes of patch infections in CEA patients treated in our department over 23 years. A literature review of studies on prosthetic patch infection following CEA published from January 1992 up to December 31, 2022 was also carried out.

methodsWe conducted a retrospective audit of patients who underwent CEA in a hospital in Athens, Greece, between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2022.

resultsBetween January 1999 and December 2022, we treated seven patients with carotid patch infections who had their original CEA at our department.

conclusionsExcision of infected material followed by revascularization using a vein graft remains the prevailing treatment.
