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

backgroundThe effectiveness and safety of endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion (ABAO) with low pc-ASPECTS is unclear.

objectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of EVT in ABAO patients with low pc-ASPECTS.

methodsWe analyzed 199 ABAO patients with pc-ASPECTS ≤ 6 who were prospectively registered in the BASILAR study. The patients were divided into the standard medical treatment group (SMT group) and the endovascular therapy group (EVT group). We compared the differences between the two groups in terms of primary outcomes (mRS scores of 0-3, 0-2 and 0-1 at 1 year), secondary outcomes (mRS scores of 0-3, 0-2 and 0-1 at 90 days), primary safety outcomes (symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage at 48 h, mortality at 90 days).

resultsAmong the 199 patients, 134 (67.34%) were in the EVT group. Compared with the SMT group, the EVT group showed a significantly higher likelihood of achieving mRS score of 0-3 [adjusted OR [aOR] 21.17, 95% CI (2.08-215.43), P = 0.010] and mRS score of 0-2 [aOR 16.34, 95% CI (1.64-163.32), P = 0.017] at 1 year. There was no significant difference in safety outcomes at 90 days between the two groups.

conclusionsEVT improves long-term clinical outcomes in ABAO patients with pc-ASPECTS ≤ 6, patients undergoing EVT demonstrated significantly better functional outcomes at 1 year compared to those receiving SMT, with no significant difference in mortality at 90 days. Overall, ABAO patients treated with EVT achieve both effective and safe outcomes.
