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

This paper reports a case of basilar artery occlusion (BAO), a relatively rare event associated with high mortality rate and high risk of disability. A 77-year-old man arrived at our Stroke Unit approximately 14 hours after the onset of symptoms (dysarthria and complete left hemiparesis) with progressive worsening up to coma and with a National Institute Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) of 22. The patient was treated and, at discharge, the modified Rankin scale and NIHSS were 2 and 5, respectively. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how revascularization treatment, also after 12 hours, could be a viable option to ensure survival and a good life quality for the patient. Furthermore, it is essential to encourage the publication of a greater number of trials about the posterior circulation emphasizing how many favorable prognosis indicators are now recognized.
