Posterior circulation cerebral infarction: A review of clinical, imaging features, management, and outcomes.
Article in European journal of radiology open, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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.

Abstract
Objective: This narrative review discusses posterior circulation cerebral infarcts (PCCI) and provides an update given recent randomized trials in the management of basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We examine clinical characteristics, imaging protocols, management updates, and outcomes of PCCI. Methods: The following databases were searched: MEDLINE, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science for articles on PCCI. We included randomized trials and observational studies in humans. We also reviewed relevant references from the literature identified. Results: PCCI and BAO is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Early assessment and accurate diagnosis of PCCI remains a clinical challenge. Neuroimaging advances have improved early detection, but barriers remain due to costs and availability. Recent randomized trials provide new insights for BAO patients and support the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy. Discussion: PCCI requires specific diagnostic and management that is distinct from anterior circulation stroke. While further studies are needed in varied populations and in the subset of BAO patients presenting with milder deficits, growing randomized data support the treatment of BAO patients with endovascular thrombectomy.
