First clinical report of aspiration through a novel 0.088-inch catheter positioned in the M1 middle cerebral artery for ELVO thrombectomy.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Two patients, separated by 1 year, underwent mechanical thrombectomy using next generation, highly navigable 0.088-inch large bore catheters, which were navigated to and aspirated within the M1 middle cerebral artery segment. Case 1 demonstrates the first reported clinical application of this technique used in conjunction with stent retriever and direct aspiration through an intermediate catheter, resulting in modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) score 3 recanalisation, and a 90-day modified Rankin Score of 1. In case 2, direct on-clot aspiration was applied through a 0.088-inch guide catheter in the left M1 segment, resulting in mTICI score 3 recanalisation and a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 1 at discharge. There was no evidence of untoward events in either case. Advancement of a 0.088-inch catheter into the M1 segment offers potential benefits to thrombectomy by improving device-thrombus interaction, inducing local flow arrest and protecting proximal vessels from embolus to new territories.
