Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke Using a Manually Expandable Stent Retriever (Tigertriever) : Preliminary Single Center Experience.

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
objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a manually expandable stent retriever (Tigertriever, Rapid Medical, Yoqneam, Israel) in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke caused by intracranial large vessel occlusions (LVO).
methodsWe performed a single center retrospective analysis of all patients treated by mechanical thrombectomy due to LVO using the Tigertriever. The angiographic and clinical success was evaluated by the modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score (mTICI) and the modified Rankin score (mRS).
resultsA total of 68 acute intracranial arterial occlusions in 61 patients (42 female, median age 77 years, range 43-92 years) were treated by mechanical thrombectomy using the Tigertriever. The overall successful reperfusion rate (mTICI 2b-3) was 85.3% (58/68 occlusions) with a first pass effect (mTICI 3) of 23.5% (16/68 occlusions). In 57 of the 68 occlusions the Tigertriever was used on an intention to treat approach with a success rate of 86.0% and in the 11 remaining occlusions where the Tigertriever was used as a bail-out device the success rate was 81.9%. In seven patients a mild subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred (11.5%) and one symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was observed (1.6%). At discharge 39.3% of the patients (24/61) had a favorable outcome (mRS 0-2).
conclusionThe Tigertriever offers a safe and effective treatment option in ischemic stroke due to LVOs with reperfusion rates and a safety profile similar to alternative devices. The Tigertriever is a promising bail-out tool in complex cases. Its role as a first line device has to be evaluated in further prospective studies.
