A unique management strategy to bilateral vertebral artery occlusion following cervical trauma: illustrative case.

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
backgroundTraumatic vertebral artery injury (TVAI) is a serious yet underdiagnosed complication of cervical spine trauma, with an incidence ranging from 0.1% to 3.2%. While its neurological sequelae vary, the risk of vertebrobasilar ischemia can be as high as 33.3%. The authors present a rare case of bilateral vertebral artery occlusion with concomitant basilar artery occlusion following C4-5 anterolisthesis. OBSERVATIONS: The patient initially exhibited no clinical signs of vertebrobasilar ischemia. Diagnosis was achieved through vascular imaging, and successful endovascular thrombectomy with thrombus removal was performed. Unique to this case, manual cervical reduction was carried out in the endovascular suite while maintaining catheter placement in an effort to prevent recurrent dissection or emboli migration. LESSONS: Given the transient nature of vertebrobasilar ischemia, repeated imaging and neurological monitoring are crucial for timely intervention. This case highlights the importance of establishing standardized screening and treatment protocols to optimize outcomes and prevent further complications in patients with TVAI. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25155.
