Stent Retriever Angioplasty for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease-Related Medium Vessel Occlusion: A Case Report and Literature Review.
Article in Journal of neuroendovascular therapy, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
Objective: Stent retriever (SR) angioplasty is an adjunctive technique for acute large vessel occlusion stroke due to underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD-LVO). Prolonged SR deployment maintains blood flow distal to the atherosclerotic lesion until the antiplatelet agent has exerted its effect. Although SR angioplasty for ICAD-LVO has been reported, few reports are available on SR angioplasty for medium vessel occlusion stroke due to underlying ICAD (ICAD-MeVO). Here, we describe a case of SR angioplasty for acute occlusion of the left M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) due to underlying ICAD. Case Presentation: A 79-year-old man with a history of left MCA M2 segment stenosis presented with motor aphasia and dysarthria. Diffusion-weighted MRI showed no high-signal intensity areas, and MRA showed occlusion of the left MCA M2 segment. The patient was diagnosed with ICAD-MeVO. After performing an MRI, the patient's symptoms progressed to total aphasia. SR angioplasty was performed for the occlusion of the left M2 segment of the MCA. Diffusion-weighted MRI the day after the procedure showed a small area of high-signal intensity exclusively in the left putamen, while MRA confirmed recanalization of the left MCA M2 segment. Aphasia improved after the procedure. No re-occlusion was observed for 90 days, and the modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days was 2. Conclusion: SR angioplasty appears to be a safe option for managing MCA M2 segment occlusion.
