Thrombectomy in Childhood Stroke.
Article in Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Background Several randomized trials have shown the efficacy of thrombectomy for large intracranial vessel occlusions in adults. However, the safety and efficacy of thrombectomy in children are unknown. We aimed to investigate the feasibility and outcome of thrombectomy in pediatric patients. Methods and Results We performed a retrospective analysis of all children (<18 years of age) who presented with large-vessel occlusion and were treated with mechanical thrombectomy at 3 German tertiary-care stroke centers. Interventional results and clinical outcomes were assessed using the Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at 24 hours and on day 7 after thrombectomy as well as after 3 months (modified Rankin Scale). After screening of local registries for all performed thrombectomies, 12 children were included. Median Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission was 12.5 (interquartile range 8.0-21.5). Angiographic outcomes for thrombectomy were good in all patients (6×modified Treatment in Cerebral Infarction Score 3, 6×modified Treatment in Cerebral Infarction Score 2b). Moreover, most patients showed an improvement of neurological outcome after thrombectomy with a median Pediatric National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale of 3.5 (interquartile range 1-8) at day 7 and a modified Rankin Scale of 1.0 (interquartile range 0-2.0) at 3 months. No major periprocedural complications were observed. Conclusions In our retrospective study thrombectomy was safe in childhood stroke, and treated children had good neurological outcomes.
