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.

2 · The registry

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

Posterior circulation strokes affect the vertebrobasilar arterial system, account for about 20-25% of all ischemic strokes, and are a significant cause of patient disability and mortality. Diagnosis can be challenging; clinical presentation and common pitfalls facing posterior circulation stroke have been discussed elsewhere. In the first part of the review, we focus on the imaging, discussing the information that can be gathered through a correct selection and interpretation of different possible studies helping to achieve an early diagnosis and to select the best medical treatment. In the second part of the review, we will discuss the best therapeutic treatments available at the moment for posterior circulation ischemia.
