Mechanical Thrombectomy in Cases of Posterior Inferior Cerebellar Artery Occlusion (with or without Vertebral Artery Occlusion): A Case Series.

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
Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) occlusion (with or without vertebral artery occlusion) may result in severe disability and even mortality. Patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for PICA occlusion (with or without vertebral artery occlusion) between 2021 and 2023 were included in the study. All five patients who underwent MT were male, aged between 45 and 68 years, with National Institute of Health Stroke Scale scores ranging from 3 to 10. The successful recanalization rate in our cases with PICA occlusion was 60%. As the MT technique, an isolated stent retriever was used in two cases, and a combined technique was used in three cases. Retrograde approach (via asymptomatic vertebral artery) was used in two cases, and an anterograde approach was used in three cases. Two cases had isolated PICA occlusion, and three cases had PICA occlusion with vertebral artery involvement. MT is a treatment option that should be considered in PICA occlusions causing severe disability.
