Endovascular revascularization of chronically occluded vertebral artery: single-center experience.

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
introductionChronic vertebral basilar artery occlusion is one of the most common causes of ischemic stroke, which accounts for roughly 20% of all cases. However, the evidence for the precise clinical effect in treatment of the initial segment of chronic vertebral basilar artery occlusion is not sufficient.
aimTo evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of endovascular therapy in the initial segment of chronic vertebral basilar artery occlusion. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis is a retrospective study based on data obtained from Lishui Hospital of Zhejiang University. We identified patients who underwent treatment for initial segment occlusion of the vertebral basilar artery from September 2014 to September 2018.
resultsAmong a total of twenty-two subjects, 77.27% of them were men and the median age was 61 years old. The primary medical history of these patients included hypertension (15, 68.18%), hyperlipidemia (13, 59.09%), diabetes mellitus (11, 50.00%), and coronary artery disease (6, 27.27%). About 54.54% of the patients were current smokers. Successful recanalization was achieved in 86.36% of patients. Five cases of balloon dilatation were recanalized and fourteen cases were treated by balloon dilation combined with stent implantation. During the follow-up period, there were no recurrent cerebral ischemic events, including
conclusionsThe clinical effect of balloon dilatation or balloon dilatation combined with stenting in the treatment of chronic vertebral basilar artery occlusion in the beginning segment was feasible and safe.
