A suction thrombectomy technique: a rapid and effective method for intra-arterial thrombolysis.
Article in Journal of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgery, 2015. 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
objectiveDuring mechanical thrombolysis, to reduce procedure-related complications and time, the authors have performed a simple suction thrombectomy technique. In this article, the authors describe the technical details and clinical outcomes of this technique. MATERIALS AND
methodsFrom January 2013 to December 2013, 14 consecutive acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large cerebral arterial occlusions in the middle cerebral artery (MCA; n = 7), internal cerebral artery (ICA; n = 5), basilar artery (BA; n = 1), and a tandem lesion (ICA and MCA; n = 1) were treated using this technique. The proximal part of the occluding clot was aspirated or captured and retrieved as one piece using a large bored microcatheter by applying negative suction pressure using a 50 mL syringe.
resultsOverall recanalization rate was 85.7% (12 patients). In the 8 patients in whom this technique was used alone, the recanalization rate was 87.5% (7 patients). The median procedural duration was 30 minutes (range 17-112) in these 7 patients. Distal embolism did not occur. Two patients developed post-procedural intracerebral hemorrhages and one was symptomatic. His modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days was 4.
conclusionThis technique is a feasible, fast, and safe method for treatment of AIS.
