Follow-up Optical Coherence Tomography Evaluation of Endothelialization in Drug-eluting Stents for Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Stenosis: a Report of Nine Cases.
Article in Clinical neuroradiology, 2026. 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
purposeThis study aimed to assess the endothelialization of drug-eluting stents (DES) 3 months after implantation for the treatment of symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis using endovascular optical coherence tomography (OCT).
methodsBetween March and May 2024, OCT was performed on patients 3 months (90 ± 7 days) after undergoing surgery for stent implantation at the vertebral artery ostium in our center.
resultsNine DES were implanted in nine patients. The mean follow-up period was 95.6 ± 12.6 days. OCT findings showed the vertebral artery lumen with fully endothelialized stent struts covered by neointima in all nine patients 3 months after implantation, indicating complete endothelialization.
conclusionsComplete endothelialization of vertebral artery DES occurred 3 months after implantation, providing a theoretical basis for potentially reducing the duration of DAPT 3 months. Further clinical studies are essential to validate these findings.
