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
Patients with acute bilateral M1 occlusion are usually comatose at presentation and have a grave prognosis. There have been few reports of emergent treatment using endovascular reperfusion therapy (ERT). We describe a patient treated with simultaneous first-pass contact aspiration and review the literature for cases describing the successful use of ERT in patients with bilateral anterior circulation proximal large-vessel occlusion (LVO). A functionally independent 95-year-old woman with history of atrial fibrillation (AF) presented with altered mentation, aphasia, and weakness in all extremities. Her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 13. CT angiogram and perfusion demonstrated acute mirror M1 occlusions with extensive bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory penumbra, respectively. Emergent ERT was performed with simultaneous contact aspiration within the bilateral M1s under concomitant flow arrest with a balloon guide catheter. Modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grades 3 and 2c were achieved on the left and right, respectively. By postoperative day 1 (POD1), the patient had improved motor function, mentation, and communication.The technical feasibility of simultaneous contact aspiration thrombectomies for acute bilateral M1 occlusions was demonstrated with successful reperfusion of both vascular territories in a single pass lasting 28 minutes. Simultaneous thrombectomies yielded rapid recanalization and reperfusion and minimized radiation exposure. Previous cases demonstrating this technique utilized stent-retriever techniques in successive fashion, with a consequent increase in the patient's total ischemic time. The technical success of our aggressive approach suggests it may have utility in the treatment of acute multivessel occlusions (MVOs).
