Traumatic Vertebral Artery Injury: Diagnosis, Natural History, and Key Considerations for Management.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2025. 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
Vertebral artery injury (VAI) is a known complication of blunt cervical spine trauma with a potential risk of stroke. Factors including cervical bony injury, spinal cord injury, and overall trauma severity have been linked to an increased risk of VAI. Despite its prevalence, there is little consensus on various aspects of this pathology, including its initial screening, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic strategies. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis from our group highlighted the dynamic nature of vertebral artery occlusion, revealing the underrecognized recanalization rates and potential stroke risks associated with delayed recanalization. While anticoagulant and/or antiplatelet therapy (ACAP) remains the cornerstone of VAI management, treatment is often complicated by co-existing injuries, such as intracranial hemorrhage or cervical trauma, which may preclude or delay ACAP usage or necessitate surgical intervention. This comprehensive narrative review synthesizes the latest evidence on VAI and associated ischemic sequelae, with the goal of elucidating its pathophysiology and natural history, summarizing current data on screening and diagnosis, and exploring key considerations for medical and endovascular management.
