Primary Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke Using Stent Retrievers: Initial Egyptian Experience.
Article in Journal of vascular and interventional neurology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundSeveral mechanical thrombectomy (MT) devices have been designed with the goal of improving the recanalization rates of major intracranial artery occlusions.
objectiveIn this single-center experience, we analyzed the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treatment with Primary MT; safety and efficacy and clinical results in our patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO).
methodsDuring a five-year period (from September 2011 to July 2016), out of 996 patients who presented to our center with a diagnosis of AIS, 113 (11.4%) patients (55 men and 58 women) underwent primary mechanical recanalization within three hours from onset of signs and symptoms for anterior and 12 hours for posterior circulation (with computer tomography angiography/perfusion ELVO). Successful recanalization (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b-3), good outcome (modified Rankin scale score 0-2) and overall mortality rate, and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage [sICH: parenchymal hematoma Type 1 or Type 2; National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score increment ≥4 points] were prospectively assessed.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 62 ± 11.73 years, with a baseline mean admission NIHSS score of 16.7 ± 3.2. The mean time from onset to puncture (time to treatment) was 208.55 ± 53.49. Successful recanalization was achieved in 104 (92%) cases. Good outcome was observed in 89 (78.8%) patients, and mortality was 11.5% (
conclusionMT, within the first 4.5 hours, as primary treatment of acute LVO stroke provides high rate of recanalization and favorable clinical outcomes with low procedural complications.
