Predictors of futile recanalization in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in late time windows.
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 10 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
Background and purpose: Futile recanalization (FR), defined as functional dependence despite successful reperfusion, is common in patients who experience an acute stroke after thrombectomy. We aimed to determine the predictors of FR in patients who underwent thrombectomy in late time windows (6 h or more after symptom onset). Methods: This retrospective review included patients who underwent thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation large vessel occlusion from October 2019 to June 2021. Successful reperfusion was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score of 2b/3. Functional dependence at 90 days was defined as a modified Rankin scale score of 3-6. Multivariate analysis and a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to identify the predictors of FR in patients treated in delayed time windows. Results: Of the 99 patients included, FR was observed in 51 (51.5%). In the multivariate analysis, older age (OR, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.04-1.22; Conclusions: Older age, female sex, higher NIHSS score upon admission, and an increased number of passes per procedure were independent predictors of FR in patients who experienced acute ischemic strokes after thrombectomy in late time windows.
