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

summaryFourty-five cases of intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses greater than 70% for intradural lesions or 60% for extradural lesions were treated by PTA or stenting. The stenotic lesions were successfully dilated in 44/45 patients and future stroke was prevented during a mean 29 month follow-up period. Stenotic ratio significantly reduced in stent-treated group compared with PTA-treated group and stenting was effective for cases refractory to PTA, such as elastic recoil or restenosis. However, stenting had its own drawbacks, such as difficulty in delivery, migration, and acute thrombosis.
