Thrombectomy for distal medium vessel occlusion with a new generation of Stentretriever (Tigertriever 13).
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06427187 (Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy of Acute Ischemic Stroke Anterior Circulation Distal Vessel Occlusion), which is not on this map.

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.
The trial behind it

Abstract
purposeTo evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Tigertriever 13 (Rapid Medical, Yoqneam, Israel) stent retriever in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with primary or secondary distal, medium vessel occlusions (DMVO).
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of all consecutive AIS patients who underwent thrombectomy with the Tigertriever13 for DMVO. Patients' characteristics were reviewed, procedural complications, angiographic (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score [mTICI]) and clinical (modified Rankin Scale [mRS]) outcomes were documented.
resultsBetween November 2019 and November 2020, 16 patients with 17 DMVO were included (40% female, median age 60 [50-65] years). The Tigertriever13 was used in 11/17 (65%, median NIHSS of 8 [6-15]) primary DMVO and in 6/17 (35%, median NIHSS of 20 [13-24]) cases of secondary DMVO after a proximal thrombectomy. The successful reperfusion rate (mTICI 2b, 2c, 3) was 94% (16/17) for the dedicated vessel. At day 1, CT imaging showed a subarachnoid hemorrhage in 29% of the cases and a parenchymal hematoma in 12%. At 3 months, 65% of the patients (11/17) had a favorable outcome (mRS 0-2).
conclusionMechanical thrombectomy using the Tigertriever13 appears to be safe and effective for DMVO. Clinical and anatomical results are in line with those of patients with proximal occlusions.
