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

AIMS AND

backgroundWe describe the initial results of the Syphontrack Super Distal Access (SDA) catheter (InNeuroco Inc., Sunrise, Fl, USA) used for endovascular treatment of patients with acute ischemic stroke of the anterior circulation.

methodsA retrospective review of prospectively collected data from June 2017 to May 2018 in Maastricht University Medical Center plus (MUMC +) with direct distal aspiration or a combination of distal aspiration with stent retriever thrombectomy was performed. Primary outcome measurements were accessibility and reperfusion grade (eTICI). Secondary outcome measurements were early neurologic recovery (a decrease of four or more points on the NIHSS), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 24 h and mRS score at 3 months.

resultsThe first 50 patients in whom the SDA catheter was used are included. Direct distal aspiration was performed in 33/50 (66%). In 29/33 (88%), distal position in contact with the clot was achieved of which 15 (52%) were successful (eTICI 2b or higher) after first attempt. Total successful reperfusion rate was 23/50 (46%) after first pass. Final successful reperfusion, after multiple attempts, was reached in 48/50 (96%). Early neurologic recovery was seen in 21/50 (42%), and functional independence (mRS score of 0-2) at 3 months was achieved in 17/50 (35%). sICH occurred in 4/50 (8%) within 24 h post-procedural.

conclusionIn our clinical practice, endovascular treatment of ischemic stroke with the SDA catheter had similar technical and clinical results as reported in the literature.
