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

backgroundThe recently introduced Tigertriever XL Device for treatment of cerebral vessel occlusions combines manual adjustability and maximum length in one device. In this study, we report our initial experience with the Tigertriever XL in terminal ICA occlusions.

methodsRetrospective multicenter analysis of acute terminal ICA occlusions treated by mechanical thrombectomy using the Tigertriever XL Device.

results23 patients were treated using the Tigetriever XL due to an acute occlusion of the terminal ICA. The overall successful reperfusion rate after a median of two maneuvers using the Tigertriever XL Device was 78.3% (mTICI 2b-3). In 43.5% (10/23) additional smaller devices were applied to treat remaining occlusions in downstream territories, which resulted in a final successful reperfusion rate of 95.7%. Device related complications did not occur. Two symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhages (sICH) were observed.

conclusionsThe Tigertriever XL Device might be a helpful tool in the treatment of ICA terminus occlusions with large clot burden resulting in high reperfusion rates. This is mainly related to the manual adjustability of the device combined with the maximum length.
