The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in predicting stroke occurrence: A prospective study.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between contrast-enhanced ultrasound-detected (CEUS) perfusion patterns of carotid plaque and the occurrence of stroke. Materials and methods: This prospective observational study finally enrolled 256 patients (151 of them having undergone CEUS) from 7851 patients who underwent carotid artery ultrasound from May 2019 to December 2019 with the endpoint being the occurrence of stroke. The risk factors and carotid ultrasound fetures was obtained from those patients. Analyze the relationship between these variables and stoke occurrence. Results: Patients in the recurrent stroke group and those in the no-recurrent stroke group were statistically different in stenosis rate, plaque echo, fibrous cap integrity, calcification of fibrous cap, hypoechoic area within the plaque, and the pattern of neovascularization perfusion from plaque surface to plaque interior ( Conclusions: The neovascularization perfusion pattern from the plaque surface to its interior serves as an independent predictor of stroke occurrence, thereby potentially enhancing clinical decision-making.
