The use of a stent-retriever to cause mechanical dilatation of a vasospasm secondary to iatrogenic subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Objective To report the use of a stent-retriever in the management of vasospasm secondary to craniopharyngioma resection. Postoperative improvement was seen both clinically and on perfusion imaging. Methods A patient was admitted for resection of a large craniopharygioma. On day 6 postoperatively the patient had an acute hemiparesis. A computed tomography angiogram and perfusion scan demonstrated acute right-sided cerebral vasospasm and a perfusion defect in the territory of the middle cerebral artery (MCA). Results A pREset 4 × 20 mm stent-retriever was used to dilate the M1 and proximal M2 segments of the right MCA mechanically. This resulted in immediate dilatation of the spastic segment and improvement in the transit time on the angiogram. There was an improvement in the clinical status post-procedure and a computed tomography perfusion performed 24 hours after the procedure showed symmetrical perfusion. A computed tomography angiogram and magnetic resonance imaging performed 1 week later showed a symmetrical appearance to the MCA and no evidence of restricted diffusion. Conclusion The use of commercially available stent-retrievers can cause mechanical dilatation of vasospastic vessels. The stents do not need to be deployed for a prolonged period nor do they need to be implanted to have a prolonged dilatory effect on the spastic vessels.
