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

introductionCarotid stenosis with intraluminal thrombus is associated with a high risk of early recurrent stroke. We evaluated the feasibility and outcome of carotid stenting in acute ischemic stroke patients with carotid stenosis and intraluminal thrombus.

methodsAmong 295 consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients who were referred for intra-arterial thrombolytic (IAT) therapy, six patients with carotid stenosis and intraluminal thrombus were treated by stent assisted angioplasty. The clinical characteristics, feasibility, and clinical outcomes were assessed.

resultsAll patients had severe stenosis of the underlying carotid bulb (mean, 86.8%; range, 71-99%) with adjacent intraluminal thrombus. Stent assisted angioplasty resulted in successful recanalization in all six patients. Thrombus was captured with the filter device in four patients. Three patients with tandem occlusion of the ipsilateral proximal middle cerebral artery were successfully recanalized with intra-arterial urokinase. No patients suffered procedure related complications or symptomatic hemorrhage. Four patients showed good long-term outcome (3 month mRS; 0-2).

conclusionsStent assisted angioplasty is a feasible treatment option for acute ischemic stroke patients caused by carotid stenosis with intraluminal thrombus and may be effective in preventing early recurrent stroke.
