Stent Retriever Angioplasty for Acute Restenosis of the Middle Cerebral Artery: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
We present a case of ischemic stroke treated by stent retriever angioplasty for restenosis during mechanical thrombectomy. An 85-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of left hemiplegia and left-sided hemispatial neglect caused by an occlusion at the origin of the right middle cerebral artery. Although mechanical thrombectomy transiently resulted in recanalization of the occluded lesion, restenosis immediately occurred and recurred repeatedly. On an angiogram, the stent retriever appeared poorly dilated at the stenosis and showed a contrast deficit. We concluded that restenosis was due to a secondary thrombus resulting from a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque. The stent retriever was kept deployed for 15 minutes. After the stent was retrieved, restenosis did not occur. Stent retriever angioplasty may be effective for determining the cause of restenosis after mechanical thrombectomy as well as for the treatment of restenosis.
