Conservative management of asymptomatic vertebral artery stent fracture with fragment embolisation to V3 segment: a case report.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction: Stent fracture represents a recognised but rare complication tied to vertebral artery origin stenting. Methods: We present a male who was diagnosed with left vertebral artery origin stenosis due to vertigo and diplopia, and who was deployed with a rapamycin-eluting stent. One-year follow-up computed tomography angiography demonstrated mid-stent fracture with distal fragment migration into the V3 segment, but the patient was asymptomatic and managed medically with close surveillance. Results: This case elucidates that rapamycin-eluting stents are an effective treatment for stenosis at the vertebral artery origin. Discussions: In rare instances involving complete stent fracture and migration of distal debris, conservative management may be a feasible option for asymptomatic patients.
