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

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) offers a non-invasive method to monitor cerebral oxygenation and hemodynamic changes in real time. Transient hemodynamic instability during carotid artery stenting (CAS) may compromise blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and cerebral homeostasis, highlighting the need for sensitive intraoperative monitoring. Compared with traditional dual-channel NIRS systems limited to the frontal region, multi-channel fNIRS enables spatially resolved assessment of cortical hemodynamics and may provide a valuable adjunct for cerebroprotection research. We retrospectively analyzed five consecutive patients who underwent CAS under local anesthesia, with continuous multi-channel fNIRS monitoring before, during, and after the procedure. Forty-five cortical channels covering bilateral anterior circulation were recorded. Changes in oxyhemoglobin concentration (
