Rescue carotid stenting in tandem occlusions: 5 years' experience from a comprehensive stroke center.
Article in Journal of Taibah University Medical Sciences, 2025. 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
Background and purpose: Rescue carotid stenting has recently been provided as an additional treatment followed by mechanical thrombectomy in patients with tandem occlusions of the anterior circulation. Nevertheless, few available data support the benefits of this treatment in Asia. We hypothesized that this treatment would be associated with improved postprocedural clinical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients who underwent rescue carotid stenting for tandem occlusions of the anterior circulation between December 2020 and May 2024 at our hospital. Clinical, neuroimaging, procedural, and complication data were collected. Primary outcomes included the rate of good outcomes with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≤2 at 3-month follow-up. Results: Ninety patients with tandem occlusions of the anterior circulation who underwent rescue carotid stenting were included, all of whom achieved successful recanalization. Among the 80 cases with the distal-to-proximal approach, diagnostic-Dotter was used in 85 %. Fifty-three patients (58.9 %) had good outcomes, and six patients (6.7 %) experienced parenchymal hemorrhage type II, which was associated with death (mRS 6) after the procedure. Conclusion: Placement of rescue carotid stenting in tandem occlusions was associated with improved clinical outcomes, without increasing symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
