Endovascular aspiration to treat acute ischemic stroke caused by embolic carcinoma.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Although cardiac myxomas have been known to cause acute ischemic stroke and other cerebrovascular complications, intracranial embolization of metastatic tumor fragments is rare. This is likely because venous emboli generally cause pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary vein metastases and patent foramen ovales have previously shown to propagate intracranial embolic carcinomas, but these events are very uncommon, and are not well characterized. We report a rare case of large-cell, high-grade neuroendocrine lung cancer embolus occluding the basilar artery, which likely detached into the bloodstream from the lung after intruding into a pulmonary vein. The embolus was treated with endovascular aspiration, and achieved modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction 2c revascularization. After initial neurological recovery, the patient suffered respiratory arrest and support was withdrawn 48 h later. We discuss the tumor characteristics and implications for treatment of acute ischemic stroke in patients with cancer diagnoses.
