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

backgroundLonger intervals to reperfusion in patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) stroke are associated with worse outcomes and influenced by the operator's ability to navigate individual anatomy. Our aims were to assess the impact of time from puncture to first deployment of the MT device (DT) on technical and clinical outcomes, develop an

methodsRetrospective review of a prospective database of patients treated with MT for ELVO between November 2015 and August 2018. CTAs were assessed for ASMETS. Intracranial access technique was at the discretion of the operator. Technical and clinical outcomes and complications were recorded. Linear and logistic regression analysis was performed.

results92 patients were included. The impact of DT on clinical outcomes was significant. An unfavourable ASMET score is significantly associated with longer DT (p = 0.002) and linear regression showed DT time can be predicted by ASMETS - F(1,90) = 6.182, p = 0.015. No difference was demonstrated between different access techniques.

conclusionCTA-based ASMETS can predict time between arterial puncture and deployment of the mechanical thrombectomy device in stroke patients, irrespective of the technique used to catheterise the target ICA. This could inform the operator in preparing appropriate strategies to overcome challenging vascular anatomy in patients undergoing MT.
