In one paragraph

Review in Interventional neurology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT02737189 (Randomized Trial of Revascularization With Solitaire Stentriever Versus Best Medical Therapy in the Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Basilar Artery Occlusion Presenting Within 6-24 Hours of Symptom Onset), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

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.

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

Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions known to man. Though rare, patients with clinical syndromes localized to this anatomical region are often referred to acute stroke and endovascular units. Recent studies evaluating the efficacy of endovascular approaches to stroke have focused on anterior circulation syndromes. In this review, we examine the approaches to stroke syndromes due to basilar artery thrombosis. We share the relevant data for intravenous and intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator as well as mechanical approaches to restoring perfusion in this critical area of the brain.
