Mechanical Thrombectomy in Ischemic Stroke Patients with Severe Pre-Stroke Disability.
Article in Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Frequency and outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in clinical practice for patients with severe pre-stroke disability are largely unknown. In this case series, we aim to describe the disability make-up and outcomes of 33 patients with severe pre-stroke disability undergoing MT. Patients with a permanent, severe, pre-stroke disability (modified Rankin Score, mRS, 4-5) were identified from a prospectively-maintained database of consecutive, MT-treated, anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke patients at two comprehensive stroke centers in the United States. We present details on the cause of disability and socio-demographic status as well as procedural and functional outcomes. This study, despite the lack of inferential testing due to limited sample size, provides insight into demographics and outcomes of MT-treated patients with severe pre-stroke disability. Rate of return to functional baseline as well as rates of procedural success and complications were comparable to that reported in the literature for patients without any pre-existing disability.
