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: Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-detected new ischemic brain lesions (NIBL) are common complications after endovascular treatment (EVT) for basilar artery stenosis (BAS), directly impacting functional outcomes in patients. This study aimed to explore the association between vulnerable plaque markers identified by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) and NIBL, and to clarify their predictive value for postprocedural ischemic events. Methods: A total of 373 patients with BAS who underwent EVT were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Patients were classified into DWI-positive (DWI+) and DWI-negative (DWI-) groups based on the presence of NIBL on DWI within 48 hours post-procedurally. Plaque burden, distribution, remodeling type, enhancement rate, and degree of stenosis were evaluated using HR-MRI. To determine independent predictors of NIBL post-procedurally, multivariable logistic regression was applied. Results: NIBL developed in 188 patients (50.4%), with a mean age of 61.76±7.83 years, including 84 males. The DWI+ group exhibited significantly higher rates of positive remodeling (PR) (51.1% Conclusions: HR-MRI-derived vulnerable plaque markers (PE and PR) are closely associated with the occurrence of NIBL following EVT for BAS, providing imaging-based evidence for risk stratification and treatment optimization.
