Significance of D-Dimer in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients With Large Vessel Occlusion Accompanied by Active Cancer.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: This study aimed to investigate clinical outcome predictors of acute stroke patients with large vessel occlusion and active cancer and validate the significance of D-dimer levels for endovascular thrombectomy decisions. Methods: We analyzed a prospectively collected hospital-based stroke registry to determine clinical EVT outcomes of acute stroke patients within 24 h with following criteria: age ≥18 years, NIHSS ≥6, and internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery lesion. All patients were classified into EVT and non-EVT groups. Patients were divided into two groups by initial D-dimer level. We explored variables potentially associated with successful recanalization as well as 3-month functional outcomes and mortality rates. Results: Among 68 patients, 36 were treated with EVT, with successful recanalization in 55.6%. The low D-dimer group showed a higher rate of successful recanalization and favorable outcome than the high D-dimer group. The mortality rate was higher in the high D-dimer group. No EVT and high D-dimer level were independent predictors of mortality, whereas lesion volume and low D-dimer level were independently associated with favorable outcomes. Conclusions: D-dimer level is a prognostic factor in acute LVO stroke patients with active cancer, and its high value for EVT decisions provisionally supports its testing in this patient population.
