A low score on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale with eye movement disorder may indicate a good candidate for acute mechanical thrombectomy for posterior circulation large vessel occlusion: illustrative cases.

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
backgroundBasilar artery occlusion (BAO) accounts for 1% of all strokes, and its natural prognosis is extremely poor. There is no consensus on the treatment strategy for mild BAO. OBSERVATIONS: Between August 2015 and May 2021, 429 patients received mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in the authors' hospital. Three patients had a BAO with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score of ≤6 and showed eye movement disorder as the main symptom. MT immediately improved ocular symptoms in all three cases, and the patients were discharged with a modified Rankin Scale ≤2. LESSONS: Lesions responsible for the eye movement disorder are distributed from the midbrain to the pontine tegmentum. These lesions are supplied by the arteries of the interpeduncular fossa, which is impaired by BAO. Symptoms due to problems with the arteries of the interpeduncular fossa can be rapidly improved by MT, and it is useful for preventing neurological deterioration in mild cases. BAO with a low NIHSS score in the presence of eye movement disorder as the main symptom may be a good indication for MT.
