Vertebral Artery Pseudoaneurysm in a Single-Vessel Posterior Circulation With Chronic Contralateral Occlusion and Recent Methamphetamine Use.
Article in Case reports in radiology, 2026. 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
Bilateral vertebral artery disease presents a critical risk for posterior circulation stroke due to impaired collateral flow. This report details an adult presenting with acute neck pain and visual disturbances. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed left vertebral artery dissection at the C2 level with a 0.5 cm dissecting pseudoaneurysm and complete occlusion of the right vertebral artery. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated no acute infarction. Symptoms improved with conservative management, including antiplatelet therapy. The case highlights the importance of recognizing high-risk bilateral vertebral artery pathology, understanding its imaging features, and considering substance abuse as a risk factor for arterial dissection. This case is notable for V3 dissecting pseudoaneurysm in the only functional vertebral artery in the setting of chronic contralateral occlusion and recent methamphetamine use, successfully managed conservatively.
