Subtypes of Intracranial Carotid Arteriosclerosis and Vascular Prognosis in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.
Article in Kidney diseases (Basel, Switzerland). The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Vascular calcification, linked to atherosclerosis, is a significant cardiovascular risk factor in chronic kidney disease (CKD). While different intracranial carotid arteriosclerosis subtypes affect stroke risk in the general population, their prevalence, causes, and impact on CKD patients remain unclear. Methods: This cohort study used data from the National Taiwan University Hospital's pre-end-stage renal disease care database, including 2,622 CKD patients with brain CT scans from 2006 to 2020. Intracranial carotid artery calcifications were categorized as intimal or internal elastic lamina (IEL) subtypes. Multivariable Cox regression assessed the associations between each calcification subtype and incident stroke or vascular mortality. Results: Among 2,622 patients, 2,470 (94.2%) had calcifications classifiable as intimal ( Conclusion: IEL calcification is prevalent in CKD patients and associated with aging, diabetes, and impaired renal function. It poses a higher risk of cerebrovascular events compared to those without calcification or with intimal calcification.
