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

Background: Intracranial stenting with the Neuroform Atlas Stent is an emerging option for patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) who do not respond to intensive medical treatment. However, the efficacy, safety, and risk factors associated with postoperative stroke recurrence remain controversial. Methods: A total of 326 consecutive patients with sICAS treated with intracranial stenting using the Neuroform Atlas Stent were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the procedure. Patients were randomly assigned to a training set and a validation set in a 7:3 ratio. Significant variables in the univariate logistic analyses were included in the final multivariate logistic regression analyses in the training set. Subsequently, we developed a predictive nomogram for sICAS treated with a Neuroform Atlas Stent to predict the likelihood of stroke recurrence at 6 months. Results: The overall mean stenosis rate of the target artery was 88.85% ± 6.53% before the stenting (T0), 47.58% ± 9.94% at the end of the procedure (T1), and 40.21% ± 7.77% at the 6-month follow-up (T2). The stenosis rate was statistically significant between T0 and T1 ( Conclusion: Intracranial stenting with the Neuroform Atlas Stent is a potentially safe and effective treatment for sICAS. Risk factors for recurrent stroke post-procedure include diabetes, current smoker, current drinker, AIS, plaque burden, enhancement ratio, and stenosis (T1).
