Study on the correlation between carotid plaque calcification types and acute ischemic stroke.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. 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
Introduction: Computed tomography angiography (CTA) was used to explore the correlation between the calcification types of carotid plaques and ipsilateral acute ischemic stroke. This could provide new insights into the clinical evaluation and treatment of ischemic stroke. Methods: This study obtained information on patients undergoing head and neck CTA examinations at the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang between September 2022 and August 2023 to investigate the clinical differences in baseline data between the acute ischemic stroke and control groups. Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were classified into 1 to 6 groups according to their plaque calcification characteristics. The correlation between calcified plaque type and ipsilateral acute ischemic anterior circulation stroke was analyzed using paired sample chi-square and Spearman correlation tests. Results: Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, this study included 589 patients with plaques at the bifurcation of the carotid arteries. In both the acute ischemic stroke and control groups, sex, smoking, alcohol consumption, systolic blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, and homocysteine levels were statistically significant ( Discussion: Carotid plaque calcification is associated with acute ischemic stroke. Our findings provide novel insights into the study of calcification in carotid atherosclerotic plaques and additional radiological evidence to clinically assess the risk of ischemic stroke.
