Emergency thrombectomy for cerebrovascular occlusion in a patient with mirror-image dextrocardia: a case report.

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
Cases of patients complicated with dextrocardia who suffer from acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion and receive emergency thrombectomy are particularly rare and have not been widely reported. This article aimed to increase the awareness and knowledge of these cases. We report the case of a patient with mirror-image dextrocardia who suffered from cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion and received emergency thrombectomy. A male patient in his early 60s with dextrocardia had acute cerebral infarction with posterior circulation large vessel occlusion and underwent emergency thrombectomy. During the operation, the rapid confirmation of dextrocardia and use of flexible interventional instruments helped establish a pathway for blood flow. We used an intracranial thrombectomy stent and intracranial balloon dilation catheter to restore the cerebral blood supply. The Modified Rankin Scale score was 0 at 3 months after thrombectomy, indicating a good prognosis of the patient. Acute cerebral infarction with large vessel occlusion in patients with dextrocardia is extremely rare. Emergency thrombectomy is feasible to recanalize cerebral blood flow and give patients a chance to recover.
