Stenting for atherosclerotic stenosis of the intracranial or skull base cerebral arteries. Effectiveness and problems.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
summarySince May 1992, we have performed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or stenting 70 times for 65 lesions in 62 patients with atherosclerotic stenosis of the intracranial or skull base cerebral arteries. Stenting was carried out nine times for nine lesions in nine cases. Stenting was performed on patients with an average age of 62. The patients were eight men and one woman. The stenotic lesions involved the internal carotid artery (petrous portion) in four cases, the internal carotid artery (cavernous portion) in two cases, the internal carotid artery (supraclinoid portion) in one case, the middle cerebral artery (M1) in one case, and the vertebral artery (V4) in one case. The degree of stenosis ranged from 70% to 99%, with a mean of 80%. A stent for coronary arteries was used in all cases. After PTA was carried out in four cases, their initial extension was inadequate, and dissection was performed in five cases after PTA. As for the results of the treatment, subarachnoid haemorrhage occurred in one case due to perforation by the guidewire, and a major deficit was accepted. During the operation, asymptomatic cerebral infarction by distal embolism occurred in one case. Although obstruction of the lesion occurred three months after treatment in one case, symptoms did not appear. Stents used for atherosclerotic stenosis of the intracranial or skull base cerebral arteries still do not have sufficient performance. Although the stenting had problems, such as a prolonged patent, in the present condition, it was effective in terms of recovery from complications due to PTA.
