Review in Current atherosclerosis reports, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is among the leading causes of adult death and number one cause of severe disability in the United States. In 1995 physicians had their first available Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for AIS in the form of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA). Since then, there has been an explosion of interest into endovascular mechanical thrombectomy as a potential treatment of stroke. Beginning in 2004 with the Merci Retriever, there have been multiple devices tested for this purpose. In 2012, the FDA approved two new devices-the Trevo Pro and Solitaire stent retrievers-after they were shown to have superior rates of recanalization when compared to the Merci device. In this article we will highlight the similarities and differences in the devices themselves, and the trials that brought them into use. Lastly, we will briefly touch on the future of mechanical embolectomy and considerations for future trial designs and patient selection.
