Endovascular rescue of vertebro-basilar thrombosis in cervical spine injury.
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
introductionVertebro-basilar thrombosis is often lethal. We report a post-traumatic case in which logistical issues were overcome to secure prompt endovascular intervention resulting in a favourable outcome. CASE PRESENTATION: We report this case to highlight (i) the need, across the United Kingdom, for rapid access to 24/7 neurointerventional services and (ii) the fact that vertebral artery injury during C-spine trauma, while not uncommon, can rarely have catastrophic complications. DISCUSSION: Vertebral artery injuries during C-spine trauma can rarely present as a neurovascular emergency requiring neurointerventional rescue. It is our opinion that patients with neurovascular emergencies merit 24/7 neurointerventional services, akin to those provided for acute coronary syndromes.
