Mechanical Thrombectomy in Pregnancy: Report of 2 Cases and Review of the Literature.
Review in Interventional neurology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 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
backgroundMechanical thrombectomy has recently proved extremely effective in improving the outcome of patients with large vessel occlusion. Despite this, questions still remain over certain cohorts of patients that were excluded from the large randomised controlled trials. One such cohort includes pregnant patients. Although thromboembolic stroke is uncommon in pregnancy, the outcome from this pathology can be devastating. SUMMARY: We present 2 cases of mechanical thrombectomy in pregnancy both of which underwent successful flow restoration without complications. We discuss the incidence of stroke in pregnancy, potential pitfalls of imaging, radiation protection issues, and the role of thrombolysis as well as the available literature on mechanical thrombectomy in this cohort. KEY MESSAGE: Thrombectomy in pregnancy can be performed safely with no significant changes required to the procedure itself. Radiation exposure during the procedure should be minimised and shielding used to prevent scatter radiation to the fetus; however, given the potential risks of thrombolysis in this cohort of patients, mechanical thrombectomy should be considered in all stages of pregnancy.
