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

background and purposeDelayed time to recanalization is associated with reduced recanalization success of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) and thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The reasons for this are unclear. We hypothesized that alterations in thrombus structure and composition could be responsible for this.

methodsRetrieved thrombi from AIS patients who underwent MT less than 8 h from symptom onset to groin puncture (SOGP) were evaluated. Patients were divided into early (≤4 h.) vs delayed (> 4 h) groups based SOGP timing. Thrombi were histologically analysed using Martius Scarlett Blue and immunohistochemistry staining for von Willebrand Factor (vWF), anti-citrullinated H3 (H3Cit; NETs [neutrophil extracellular traps] marker). We used inferential statistics including, t-test, artificial neural network (ANN) to interpret the data.

resultsA total of 137 thrombi were collected. The overall average percentage of red blood cells (RBC), white blood cells (WBC), platelet, fibrin, H3Cit, and vWF components in thrombi was 45.83%, 3.58%, 22.23%, 28.27%, 19.97% and 16.23% respectively. Delayed group had higher WBCs, (p = 0.02), fibrin (p = 0.02), H3Cit (p = 0.04) and vWF (p = 0.03) thrombus fractions compared to early group. Based on ANN model, the most important factors for predicting the number of passes required for successful recanalization are fibrin and RBC contents of the thrombus followed by vWF and H3Cit contents.

conclusionsLonger time to recanalization was associated with increased WBCs, fibrin, H3Cit and vWF fractions of thrombi reflecting possible in situ maturation of thrombus components. Increased fibrin, NETs and vWF composition may reduce likelihood of revascularization by altering thrombus mechanical properties.
