Intracranial angioplasty and stenting: long-term results from a single center.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT00929383 (An International Registry of the Wingspan™ Stent System for the Treatment of Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis), which is not on this map. Cited by 29 papers, 3 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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.

Abstract
background and purposeLarge-vessel intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis carries a proved stroke risk of 8%-22% per year with "best medical therapy." The long-term clinical neurologic and angiographic outcomes of angioplasty and/or stent placement for intracranial atherosclerosis in a consecutive series of patients are presented.
methodsThe demographics, procedural details, procedural outcome, and long-term neurologic follow-up in 60 consecutive patients with 71 lesions, undergoing a total of 84 procedures, were analyzed.
resultsAngioplasty alone was performed in 62 procedures; 22 procedures involved stent placement. The periprocedural stroke+death rate was 4.8%. The overall complication-free success rate was 90.5%. Restenosis occurred in 23 lesions at a mean of 4.6 months; 13 were re-treated without complication. There were 4 strokes and 4 non-neurologic deaths during 224 patient-years of follow-up. The annualized stroke rate was 1.8%, and the annualized stroke+all-cause death rate was 3.0%.
conclusionsThe stroke and death rates in this consecutive series of patients with severe intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis treated with optimal endovascular therapy are considerably less than those associated with the natural history of intracranial atherosclerosis treated with maximal medical therapy. Intracranial angioplasty with conditional stent placement is technically feasible and clinically effective with a substantial reduction in long-term stroke and death.
