Basilar Artery Occlusion: Diagnosis and Acute Treatment.
Review in Current treatment options in neurology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.
Who cites it
10 citing papers in PubMed, 1 synthesis or guideline pooled it, 18 citations in OpenAlex.

Abstract
purpose of reviewTo provide the latest updates in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis in patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). RECENT
findingsThe diagnosis of BAO requires a high index of suspicion among patients with sudden onset depressed level of consciousness, quadraparesis (or hemiparesis), and cranial nerve dysfunction. Computed topography with angiography is currently the diagnostic modality of choice for the diagnosis of BAO. Given the often catastrophic nature of BAO, intravenous thrombolysis combined with mechanical thrombectomy should be offered in eligible patients. Despite a lack of data from randomized clinical trials, good outcomes are possible, especially in patients without early evidence of infarction. Aggressive treatment with intravenous thrombolysis and mechanical thrombectomy should be considered in eligible patients with BAO, but there remains a dearth of information from randomized clinical trials.
