Dual SAVE technique for mechanical thrombectomy rescue on MCA bifurcation clots.
Article in Journal of neurointerventional surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
The Stent retriever Assisted Vacuum-locked Extraction (SAVE) technique in mechanical thrombectomy consists of the simultaneous use of a stent retriever and a distal aspiration catheter, with the removal of both as a unit when performing the thrombectomy pass. This is a safe procedure that provides a high rate of first-pass reperfusion.1 In the distal M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusions, with the distal portion of the clot extending to the upper and lower MCA branches, mechanical thrombectomy can be challenging since the thrombus is not fully trapped, with risk of distal clot migration to the branch in which the retriever is not placed. In these cases the double stent-retriever technique has been described as a rescue strategy.2-4 We describe a case of the combined use of SAVE and double stent-retriever techniques as a rescue strategy in a patient with tandem occlusion of the proximal internal carotid artery and distal MCA-the D-SAVE technique.
