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
Few reports have described the successful treatment of stroke caused by acute vertebral artery (VA) origin occlusion by endovascular surgery. We describe the case of a 68-year-old man who experienced stroke due to left acute VA origin occlusion. Cerebral angiography showed that the left VA was occluded at its origin, the right VA had hypoplastic and origin stenosis, and the basilar artery was occluded by a thrombus. The VA origin occlusion was initially passed through with a 0.035-inch guide wire. An angioplasty was performed, and a coronary stent was appropriately placed. The VA origin was successfully recanalized. A balloon-assisted guiding catheter was navigated through the stent and a thrombectomy was performed using the Penumbra system. The patient's symptoms gradually improved postoperatively. Balloon-assisted catheter guidance through a vertebral artery stent permitted a successful thrombectomy using the Penumbra system and may be useful for treating stroke due to VA origin occlusion.
