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
purposeTo investigate the predictors for good outcome of endovascular therapy (EVT) for patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) due to intracranial atherosclerosis stenosis (ICAS).
methodsFrom April 2012 to February 2018, patients with VBAO due to ICAS who received EVT were retrospectively analyzed. ICAS was defined as fixed stenosis of >70%, or a degree of fixed stenosis >50% in addition to either perfusion impairment or evidence to re-occlusion. Good outcome was defined as mRS≤2 at 90 days. Both logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analyses were performed to explore the predictors.
resultsAmong 103 patients enrolled in the analysis, 40.8% achieved good outcome. Prior antiplatelet therapy (OR, 7.301; 95% CI, 1.761-30.265; P=0.006), EVT+IVT (OR, 7.343; 95% CI, 1.621-33.263; P=0.010 ), the pc-ASPECT on DWI (OR, 1.705; 95% CI, 1.127-2.580; P=0.012), BATMAN (OR, 1.395; 95% CI, 1.005-1.937; P=0047), general anesthesia (OR, 0.081; 95% CI, 0.010-0.633; P=0.017), onset-to-recanalization time (≤542min vs. >542min) (OR, 0.194; 95% CI, 0.057-0.661; P=0.009) and the initial NIHSS (OR, 0.882; 95% CI, 0.820-0.949; P=0.001) were significantly associated with good outcome in logistic regression. Based on ROC analyses, initial NIHSS score (area under the curve [AUC]= 0.816, p <0.001; cutoff,19.5; sensitivity, 78.7%; specificity, 72.5%) was significant predictors of good outcome.
conclusionsFor patients with VBAO due to ICAS, prior antiplatelet therapy, EVT+IVT, local anesthesia, short onset-to-recanalization time, a low initial NIHSS, a high pc-ASPECT and BATMAN might be helpful to predict the good outcome at 90 days after EVT.
