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

The present prospective study aimed to elucidate improvements in affected upper extremity motor function after carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for symptomatic patients without obvious cognitive decline and to clarify associations between this post-CEA improvement and postoperative recovery of cerebral perfusion and/or cerebral neurotransmitter receptor function. Fifty-three symptomatic patients undergoing CEA were subjected to the Action Research Arm Test (ARAT) and early (within 30 min after
