Balloon-expandable stents for treatment of symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis: Clinical outcomes during long-term follow-up.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundInsertion of a balloon-expandable stent (BES) in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis is a treatment option for reperfusion therapy. In this study, we retrospectively reviewed clinical outcomes during long-term follow-up after insertion of balloon-expandable stents in patients with symptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis.
methodsInstitutional review board approval was obtained for retrospective review of patient data. Thirty-four patients (15 men, 19 women; median age, 67.5 years) with symptomatic MCA stenosis underwent balloon-expandable stent insertion between June 2008 and December 2010. Patient records were reviewed for angiographic findings and clinical outcomes during long-term follow-up.
resultsOf these patients, 22 presented with acute ischemic stroke with underlying MCA atherosclerosis and had good clinical outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score (mRS): 0-2) after reperfusion therapy. Indications for stenting for the remaining 12 patients were recurrent transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) refractory to medical therapy and MCA stenosis greater than 70%. During the poststenting follow-up period, which ranged from 61 to 108 months (median, 67.5 months), a TIA occurred in five patients. Of these five patients, one experienced a complete reocclusion of the MCA stent, and three had symptomatic restenosis. The remaining 29 patients did not experience any further ischemic events or restenosis during the follow-up period.
conclusionsIn our study, treatment with balloon-expandable stents in patients with symptomatic MCA stenosis resulted in low recurrence rates for both ischemic events and restenosis during long-term follow-up.
