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

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. This study explores the potential of using carotid duplex ultrasound (CDU) radiomics to predict outcomes in AIS patients, enhancing prognostic assessments through advanced imaging technologies. Methods: We enrolled 105 AIS patients at the Stroke Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. CDU images were obtained and processed using artificial intelligence to extract 1,477 radiomic features. Key features were identified and used to develop a predictive model for patient outcomes 3 months post-stroke. Results: The developed predictive model demonstrated high accuracy and clinical utility, confirmed by decision curve analysis. Inter-observer reliability was excellent, with a Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.93, indicating consistent assessments of plaque vulnerability across different observers. Conclusion: Carotid duplex ultrasound radiomics significantly enhances the ability to predict adverse outcomes in AIS, offering a precision-based approach that supports personalized management strategies. It could improve clinical outcomes by allowing targeted interventions based on specific radiomic profiles.
