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

Background: The persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA) is a persistent embryological carotid-basilar connection. Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for hypoplastic PPTA occlusion is a challenge. This case report aims to describe the successful recanalization of simultaneous occlusions in both the PPTA and basilar artery (BA) using the Solitaire FR (RECO SR)/Stent and Intermediate Catheter Assisting (SWIM) technique in a patient with acute cardiogenic cerebral embolism. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such a case. Case Description: We present a case of a 70-year-old female patient who presented with acute right-sided hemiparesis and altered consciousness. Digital subtraction angiography confirmed the occlusion of both the distal portion of the PPTA and the BA. The patient underwent EVT using the SWIM technique, resulting in successful recanalization and significant improvement in the patient's condition. Conclusion: This case report demonstrates the successful application of the SWIM technique in achieving recanalization and improving outcomes in a patient with simultaneous occlusion of the acute PPTA and BA. These findings support the potential use of EVT in similar cases.
