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
backgroundThe use of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for treatment of acute large vessel occlusion has recently increased. Prompt and timely guiding catheter (GC) induction is necessary to improve prognosis of MT and reduce the time for recanalization. However, difficulties in GC induction are encountered in some patients. This GC induction depends mainly on the aortic arch structure. Therefore, this study focused on assessing presence of tracheal shift on chest X-ray images as pre-treatment evaluation method for GC induction due to its wide availability as an indicator for status of the mediastinum.
methodsWe retrospectively examined 33 patients who underwent MT at our facilities between April 2017 and March 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to presence or absence of tracheal shift on chest X-ray images. Background characteristics and treatment courses in these two groups were compared.
resultsAmong 33 patients, tracheal shift was observed on the chest X-ray images of 14 patients. Furthermore, tracheal shift was positively correlated with the time of GC induction (32.9 min vs. 11.6 min, [
conclusionsIn patients with tracheal shift, GC induction could be expectedly difficult. Therefore, advanced disinfection of the right upper arm and affected side of the neck during MT in preparation for changing an approach route is required.
