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

background and purposeThromboaspiration technology continues to evolve at an accelerated pace with increasing availability of larger and more navigable devices. Herein, we provide our initial experience with the intracranial navigation of a large-bore (.088" inner diameter) catheters during mechanical thrombectomy (MT).

methodsRetrospective review of consecutive large vessel occlusion stroke patients in whom a TracStar™ or Zoom 88™ (Imperative Care, Campbell, CA) large-bore catheters were utilized in MT. The primary outcome was successful reperfusion (eTICI2b-3) at the end of the procedure. Safety measures included procedural complications and rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

resultsFive patients (age,∼50-85 years; baseline NIHSS,17-23) were treated. The .088" catheters were used as the primary tool for contact aspiration in two patients (distal basilar artery and proximal MCA occlusions) with complete thrombus ingestion (eTICI3) during the first pass. In two patients, the .088" catheter was used for flow control where it was placed in the distal M1-segment of a patient with M2 occlusion treated with a combination of stent-retriever and .070" aspiration catheter and in the proximal M1 in a patient with distal M1 occlusion treated with .071" aspiration catheter resulting in eTICI3 reperfusion in both cases. In the fifth patient, the .088" catheter was navigated into the cavernous ICA to support .071" aspiration catheter treatment of an M2 occlusion resulting in eTCI2b67 reperfusion. Procedural duration ranged between 14 and 33 minutes. There were no adverse events.

conclusionIntracranial navigation of .088" large-bore catheters in MT appears technically feasible and safe. Larger prospective studies are warranted.
