Submaximal primary angioplasty for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis: peri-procedural complications and long-term outcomes.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2019. 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
purposeThe aim of our study is to report the peri-procedural complications and long-term stroke recurrent rate of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) patients who underwent submaximal primary angioplasty.
methodsThis is a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients in a single center who underwent submaximal primary angioplasty between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2015. The peri-procedural complications and long-term outcomes are reported.
resultsPrimary angioplasty was successfully performed in 129 patients (97.0%). The mean degree of pre-procedural stenosis was 81.9 ± 10.2%, and the degree of residual stenosis was 40.7 ± 19.1%. There were nine (6.8%) peri-procedural complications within 30 days, including seven ischemic strokes, one subarachnoid hemorrhage, and one asymptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. None of them resulted in death. One-year follow-up was available in 122 patients (91.7%). Three more ischemic strokes (2.3%) which were in the territory of the treated artery occurred between 30 days and 1 year. The 1-year stroke and death rate was 9.0%, including peri-procedural stroke. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a 3-year stroke-free survival of 87.2%.
conclusionSubmaximal primary angioplasty can be performed with a low peri-procedural complication rate and relatively good clinical outcome at long-term follow-up for symptomatic ICAS patients.
