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
Background: Stenting extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) lesions in acute ischemic stroke with tandem lesions is technically challenging. Its safety is highly debated because of the requirement of dual-antiplatelet therapy. The optimal stenting device, timing, and periprocedural antiplatelet therapy for extracranial ICA stenting in the setting of acute tandem occlusion are still unclear. Methods: We performed a retrospective study of patients with acute ischemic stroke attributable to tandem lesions who underwent endovascular treatment during a 5-year period receiving either conventional self-expanding carotid stents (SX) or balloon-expandable carotid stent (BX). BX stents were restented with an SX in the subacute phase. Primary outcomes of interest were extracranial ICA patency at follow-up and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Results: A total of 112 patients admitted from April 2016 to April 2021 were included. Dual-antiplatelet therapy immediately following endovascular treatment was more frequently administered in the SX group (35/39 [89.7%]) compared with the BX group (20/73 [27.4%]) ( Conclusions: In patients with acute ischemic stroke and tandem occlusions, a bridging therapy including BX stents with less-aggressive antiplatelet therapy and subsequent definitive SX stenting to treat extracranial ICA lesions resulted in a lower rate of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation and no differences in stent patency.
