1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Pediatric patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy may be challenging for the anesthesiologists as regards the best anesthetic choice, especially if concomitant to severe comorbidities such as heart failure. A 16-year-old patient affected by arrhythmogenic right ventricle dysplasia/cardiomyopathy underwent mechanical thrombectomy. He was not eligible for deep sedation or general anesthesia since he has been suffering from severe heart failure. The patient stillness was obtained by intra-arterial injection of propofol from the contralateral internal carotid artery. The procedure has been well tolerated, without cardiorespiratory impairment. The case stresses the growing importance to tailor a proper anesthesiologic plan during mechanical thrombectomy, especially in extreme conditions.
