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

purposeIntracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a potentially severe complication after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Here, we investigated risk factors for the occurrence of any and symptomatic ICH after MT due to large-vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation.

methodsConsecutive patients with acute ischemic anterior circulation stroke with large-vessel occlusion undergoing MT were analyzed. ICH was categorized according to the Heidelberg Bleeding Classification. Forty-three procedural and clinical parameters were analyzed using univariate tests and multivariate logistic regressions.

resultsOf 612 patients, any ICH was detected in 195 (31.9%), while 27 (4.4%) developed a symptomatic ICH. Infarct size > 1/3 of vascular territory in control imaging (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.45-3.21), higher serum glucose levels (OR 1.23 for change of 15 units mg/dL, 95% CI 1.10-1.39), and higher thrombectomy maneuver count (OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.11-1.32) were significantly associated with a higher risk of developing any ICH compared to no ICH. Wake-up strokes (OR 3.99, 95% CI 1.38-11.60), transfer from an external clinic (OR 3.04, 95% CI 1.24-7.48), and higher serum glucose levels (OR 1.22 for change of 15 units mg/dL, 95% CI 1.05-1.42) were revealed as independent risk factors for development of symptomatic ICH compared to no symptomatic ICH. Patients with no infarct demarcation (OR 0.10, 95% CI 0.01-0.80) and complete recanalization (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.37-0.86) showed a lower risk of developing any ICH.

conclusionWake-up strokes and patients who are treated within a drip-and-ship concept are especially vulnerable for symptomatic ICH, while complete recanalization, contrary to subtotal recanalization only, was revealed as a protective factor against ICH.
