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

Distal embolism causing acute ischemic events due to rupture of vulnerable plaques can occur during endovascular therapy, necessitating careful treatment and technique selection. Intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) is a key factor in plaque instability. Detecting intraplaque neovascularization (IPN) greatly aids early screening and diagnosis of vulnerable plaques. Contrast-enhanced dynamic magnetic resonance imaging has shown a rapidly enhancing component indicating neovascularization and a slowly enhancing component indicating fibrous tissue. To our knowledge, no reports have described visualizing plaque contrast effects using dual-energy computed tomography. The rapid enhancement and washout pattern likely reflected neovascularization, whereas the gradual enhancement suggested fibrous components. Reviewing arterial and delayed phase iodine maps from dual-energy computed tomography may help estimate plaque characteristics.
