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

Mechanical thrombectomy has become the standard treatment for patients with an acute ischemic stroke. In this approach, to remove blood clots, mechanical force is applied using thrombectomy devices, in which the interaction between the clot and the device could significantly affect the clot retrieval performance. It is expected that the finite element method (FEM) could visualize the mechanical interaction by the visualization of the stress transmission from the device to the clot. This research was aimed at verifying the constitutive theory by implementing FEM based on the visco-hyperelastic theory, using a three-dimensional clot model. We used the visco-hyperelastic FEM to reproduce the mechanical behavior of blood clots, as observed in experiments. This study is focused on the mechanical responses of clots under tensile loading and unloading because in mechanical thrombectomy, elongation is assumed to occur locally on the clots during the retrieval process. Several types of cylindrical clots were created by changing the fibrinogen dose. Tensile testing revealed that the stiffness (E
