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

backgroundWhile Balloon Guide Catheters (BGC) have been shown to increase the rate of reperfusion during mechanical thrombectomy (MT), its implementation with transfemoral approach is at times limited due to unfavorable vascular anatomy.

objectiveto determine safety, feasibility and performance of the transradial use of 8 F BGC Flowgate

results20 (8.7%) out of 230 overall thrombectomy procedures underwent transradial approach using an 8 F BGC Flowgate.

conclusionThe use of 8 F Balloon Guide Catheter during MT via transradial approach might represent an alternative in selected cases with unfavorable vascular anatomies. Its use in right ICA catheterizations was associated with a high rate of catheter kinking.
