Vertebral and intracranial artery angioplasty.
Article in Ochsner journal, 2003. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Cerebral ischemia is due to either embolic or cerebrovascular occlusive disease, which most commonly occurs as a manifestation of atherosclerosis. Although carotid endarterectomy has been proven more effective than medical therapy in the treatment of cervical carotid disease, there are no effective surgical strategies for the management of vertebral artery or intracranial carotid disease. Management of patients with these conditions is well suited to a multidisciplinary team with the combined skills to provide optimal care. Percutaneous revascularization techniques with balloon angioplasty and stenting can be used to successfully treat occlusive disease of the vertebral and intracranial arteries. Percutaneous revascularization of intracranial and vertebral vessels with angioplasty and stenting is an effective strategy. The outcomes in this difficult to manage cohort of patients appears to be markedly improved over the natural history of this disease with medical therapy alone.
