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

background and purposeData on procedure time (PT) for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are scarce. Moreover, the relationship among PT, postprocedural hemorrhagic transformation (HT), and functional outcomes in MT patients remains unclear. We investigated whether postprocedural HT mediated the relationship between PT and functional outcomes in patients with stent-retriever thrombectomy.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent MT at two comprehensive stroke centers. PT was defined as the time from puncture to first successful recanalization or to abortion of the procedure if successful recanalization was not achieved. A favorable outcome was defined as a 90-day modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2. HT was classified using the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study definition.

resultsAmong 283 patients (mean age, 67.2 ± 11.9 years; male, 53.7%), 124 (43.8%) patients had a favorable outcome and 27 (9.5%) patients experienced symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH). Whether in the overall cohort or in the successful recanalization cohort, extended PT was an independent predictor for a poor outcome (per 30 min: OR 1.433, 95% CI 1.062-1.865, p = 0.019; OR 1.522, 95% CI 1.062-2.159, p = 0.020, respectively) and sICH (per 30 min: OR 1.391, 95% CI 1.030-1.865, p = 0.029; OR 1.716, 95% CI 1.161-2.648, p = 0.009, respectively). Moreover, postprocedural HT might partially explain the worse function outcomes in patients with an extended PT (the regression coefficient was changed by 28.2% and 28.1%, respectively).

conclusionsThe PT is an independent predictor for 90-day outcomes in stent-retriever thrombectomy patients. Postprocedural HT was partially responsible for the worse outcome in patients who experienced a longer PT.
