Double solitaire mechanical thrombectomy in acute stroke: effective rescue strategy for refractory artery occlusions?
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 and purposeMechanical thrombectomy by using a single stent retriever system has demonstrated high efficacy for recanalization of large-artery occlusions in acute stroke. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a novel double Solitaire stent retriever technique as an escalating treatment for occlusions that are refractory to first-line single stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy. MATERIALS AND
methodsAll patients treated with the double stent retriever technique by using the Solitaire system were retrospectively selected from 2 large neurointerventional centers. Time to recanalization, angiographic (TICI) and clinical outcomes (mRS), and complications were assessed.
resultsTen patients (median NIHSS score, 16; mean age, 70 years) with MCA M1 segment (n = 5) and terminal ICA (n = 5 including 2 ICA tandem) occlusions were included. Prior single stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy had been performed in 9 patients (median number of passes, 3). Median time to recanalization was 60 minutes (interquartile range, 45-87 minutes). Procedure-related complications occurred in 1 patient; overall mortality was 20%. Recanalization of the target vessel (TICI 2b/3) was achieved in 80%. Good clinical outcome (mRS 0-2) was 50%.
conclusionsIn this preliminary feasibility study, the double Solitaire stent retriever technique proved to be an effective method for recanalization of anterior circulation large-artery occlusions refractory to standard stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy.
