Bilateral Oculomotor Nerve Palsy: A Rare Complication of Bridging Thrombolysis for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (AVBAO) accounts for only 1-2% of ischemic stroke, but it has high disability and mortality rates. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) combined with intravenous thrombolysis can quickly achieve vascular recanalization and significantly improve patient prognosis. This report describes a 73-year-old male who was admitted to the hospital in a coma due to AVBAO. After MT, successful recanalization of the basilar artery was achieved; however, the patient subsequently developed the rare but serious complication of bilateral oculomotor nerve palsy. The report emphasizes the need for careful preoperative planning, including detailed assessment of vascular anatomy and thrombus characteristics, and the importance of operator expertise. Improved intraoperative technique and close postoperative monitoring may help prevent complications such as vessel injury or embolic recurrence. Additionally, clinicians should be aware of the limitations of early DWI (Diffusion-weighted imaging) in detecting brainstem infarcts and of the need for clinical vigilance in the postoperative period.
