Nomogram for Predicting 90-Day Outcomes in Patients with Acute Vertebrobasilar Artery Occlusion Undergoing Endovascular Treatment: A Multicenter Cohort Study.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
background and purposeAcute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) is associated with high mortality and disability rates, and reliable prediction tools for post-endovascular therapy (EVT) outcomes remain limited. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a novel Nomogram model for predicting 90-day unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with acute VBAO after EVT by integrating clinical and MRI features. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis multicenter retrospective study analyzed data from 181 patients with vertebrobasilar artery occlusion eligible for endovascular therapy from 2 Chinese stroke centers. We developed a predictive model for unfavorable clinical outcomes (mRs score >3) by using the data of 125 patients from Stroke Center A (2019-2023). The model was constructed by using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses of clinical and MRI characteristics, with continuous variables dichotomized on the basis of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Internal validation used smooth bootstrapping, while external validation used 56 cases from Stroke Center B (2019-2023), ensuring model reliability and generalizability across diverse clinical settings.
resultsAge, NIHSS baseline score, recanalization, novel posterior circulation scores, and MRA-based posterior circulation collateral scores were independent predictors of 90-day prognosis, which were used to create a nomogram model. Internal validation demonstrated excellent discriminative performance of the model (mean area under the curve, 0.92;95% CI, 0.91-0.93), while external validation further confirmed its robust generalizability (area under the curve, 0.88). The patients were effectively stratified into the low-risk and high-risk groups using the nomogram model.
conclusionsThe posterior circulation collateral score was an independent predictor of prognosis. Our novel nomogram model, based on clinical and MRI characteristics, effectively predicts 90-day unfavorable clinical outcomes in patients with vertebrobasilar artery occlusion following endovascular therapy.
