Posterior circulation ischaemic stroke-a review part I: anatomy, aetiology and clinical presentations.
Review in Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05588661 (Comparative Effects of Perturbation Based Balance Training and Whole Body Vibration on Balance and Gait in Sub-acute Stroke Patients.), which is not on this map. Cited by 47 papers, 4 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.

Abstract
Posterior circulation ischaemia is a clinicopathological condition with complex symptomatology associated with an infarction within the vertebrobasilar arterial system. Posterior circulation strokes account for about 20-25% of all ischemic strokes and remain a significant cause of patient disability and mortality. Diagnosis can be challenging because presenting symptoms are often non-focal and because there is a substantial overlap in symptoms and signs of ischaemia in the anterior circulation. Despite better imaging techniques, diagnosis and treatment of life-threatening conditions, such as basilar artery occlusions, are often delayed. Therefore, early detection of symptoms and causes of posterior circulation ischaemia is essential for choosing the most appropriate therapy. In this review, we summarise the anatomy, aetiology, typical presentations and characteristic findings of common strokes resulting from disease in the vertebrobasilar arterial system.
