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

objectiveThis study aimed to compare radiation exposure (RE) in patients receiving mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large-vessel occlusions in the anterior circulation using direct thrombo-aspiration (DT) versus stent-retriever thrombectomy under continuous distal aspiration (STA).

methodsThis was a retrospective single-centre analysis of an Institutional Review Board-approved stroke database of a comprehensive stroke centre focusing on RE per dose area product, procedure time (PT) and fluoroscopy time (FT) in patients receiving MT. Patients who received MT with DT were matched with patients treated using STA according to occlusion location, mode of anaesthesia, manoeuvre count and sex.

resultsApart from patient age (DT:

conclusionMT using DT is associated with shorter FT and PT and lower RE compared to matched patients treated with STA.
