[Influence of the "distance to thrombus" in acute middle cerebral artery occlusion : A predictor for the clinical outcome after endovascular treatment].

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
backgroundThe therapy strategy of patients with acute stroke of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is influenced by the location of the occlusion. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical outcome in patients with acute ischemic MCA occlusion according to the location of occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment (EVT).
methodsA total of 54 patients (age 73 ± 15 years; 59% female) with acute ACM occlusion treated with EVT were included. In coronary reformatted CT angiography images, the distance to the thrombus (DT), i.e. the distance from the carotid T to the beginning of the thrombus, was measured. Correlations between DT, clinical symptoms, and clinical outcome of patients who underwent EVT were analyzed.
resultsDT correlated with clinical symptoms measured by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS; p = 0.017; R = -0.324) at baseline. DT also correlated with the modified Rankin scale after 90 days (90-day mRS; p = 0.014; R = -0.333). DT was a predictor for a good clinical outcome (mRS after 90 days) after EVT; odds ratio 1.113 (P = 0.02; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.017-1.219). A DT >10 mm correlated significantly (p = 0.036) with a good clinical outcome (90-day mRS ≤2).
conclusionDT correlates with the clinical symptoms of patients with acute MCA occlusion. In addition, DT is an independent predictor of the clinical outcome of patients suffering from acute stroke due to MCA occlusion.
