Use of intracranial stent as rescue therapy after mechanical thrombectomy failure-9-year experience in a comprehensive stroke centre.
Article in Neuroradiology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04986774 (Rescue Intracranial Stenting in Acute Ischemic Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.

Abstract
purposeThere is no established rescue treatment in patients with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) failure. Our aim is to analyse whether the use of an intracranial stent improves prognosis in these patients.
methodsRetrospective analysis of a prospective cohort of patients with ischemic stroke due to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCA) or distal intracranial carotid artery (ICA) occlusion, from September 2009 to April 2019 in our comprehensive stroke care centre. Patients with MT failure were identified and dichotomized into two groups according to whether or not an intracranial stent was implanted. We analysed clinical outcomes in both groups.
resultsThere was MT failure in 60 patients (14%) of the 433 with large vessel occlusion in distal ICA and proximal MCA. A stent was placed in 20 of them (33.3%). Compared to patients without rescue stenting, they showed better rates of independence at 3 months (mRS ≤ 2) 45% vs 2.5% (p < 0.001) and lower mortality 15% vs 50% (p = 0.009), maintaining statistical significance after multivariate analysis, without a significant increase of the rate of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage (p = 0.209).
conclusionPlacement of an intracranial stent as rescue therapy after MT failure was associated with better clinical outcome without significant increase in haemorrhagic complications. We believe that this procedure should be appraised in these patients.
