1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

The recent success of endovascular stroke treatment has heralded a new era in the management of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with significantly improved outcome for patients. A large number of patients may be amenable to this new treatment and as the evidence expands the number of patients eligible for mechanical thrombectomy continues to increase. Recent evidence suggests that the time window for treatment can be extended up to 24 h after symptom onset for patients with anterior circulation strokes; however, many clinicians and medical professionals may not be aware of these recent changes and it is important that they are kept up-to-date with this rapidly evolving treatment. This review provides an overview of the recent successful trials and highlights important steps that should be instituted in order to achieve rapid reperfusion and optimize the outcome for ischemic stroke patients. It also looks at the remaining controversies facing the field of thrombectomy. A short summary of each of these contentious areas is provided and the current state of the art.
