1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A 61-year-old man presented with a non-tapered occlusion at the origin of the left vertebral artery, with the right vertebral artery failing to join the left vertebral artery to form the basilar artery, and basilar artery tip occlusion. Early antegrade endovascular recanalization attempts with microwires failed to traverse the occlusion at the left vertebral artery origin. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a well-developed left ascending cervical artery communicating with the V3 segment of the left vertebral artery. We adopted a retrograde endovascular recanalization strategy and, with adjunctive balloon angioplasty and stent placement, successfully reestablished patency of the left vertebral artery origin.
