The Tigertriever 13 for mechanical thrombectomy in distal and medium intracranial vessel occlusions.

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
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
purposeTo report our two-center initial experience using the Tigertriever 13 in the treatment of acute stroke of distal, medium vessel occlusions (DMVO).
methodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of all patients treated by mechanical thrombectomy using the Tigertriever 13 device (a manually expandable low profile stent retriever) due to an acute DMVO. Locations included the anterior, middle, and posterior cerebral artery in the A2 and A3, the M3 and M4, and the P2 or P3 segment and the superior cerebellar artery.
resultsForty-three patients with 45 DMVOs underwent MTE using the Tigertriever 13 with the intention-to-treat approach between May 2019 and December 2020. After a median of two thrombectomy maneuvers, the successful recanalization rate (mTICI 2b-3) was 84.4% (38/45) with a first pass effect of 26.7% (12/45). The rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages (sICH) and subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH) was 7.0% (3/43) and 14.0% (6/43), respectively. At discharge, 53.5% (23/43) of the patients had a favorable clinical outcome (mRS 0-2).
conclusionMechanical thrombectomy in DMVOs using the Tigertriever 13 leads to high recanalization rates. The incidence of mostly asymptomatic hemorrhagic events appears higher compared to MTE procedures in LVOs. Further studies will help to identify anatomic and clinical criteria to define a guideline for MTE in DMVOs.
