Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke due to Thrombus in the Pulmonary Vein Stump after Left Pulmonary Lobectomy: A Case Series.
Article in Neurointervention, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Cerebral embolic stroke caused by a thrombus in the pulmonary vein stump after left pulmonary lobectomy is a serious complication. We retrospectively analyzed four patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for large-vessel occlusion after left pulmonary lobectomy between January 2014 and March 2022. Two cases occurred after left upper lobectomy and the others occurred after left lower lobectomy. All patients presented with cerebral embolic stroke from the day after surgery to the 9th postoperative day, and successful reperfusion was achieved in all cases. Two patients had good outcomes at 90 days. Thrombus in the pulmonary vein stump is the probable cause of cerebral embolism, and mechanical thrombectomy is effective. Further studies are required to establish preventive measures and perioperative management strategies.
