High thrombus platelet content is associated with a lower rate of first pass effect in stroke treated by endovascular therapy.
Article in European stroke journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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: First pass effect (FPE), the occurrence of complete reperfusion after one pass with no rescue attempt during endovascular therapy (EVT), is associated with the best clinical outcome after an acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Previous studies evaluating FPE occurrence according to EVT technical strategies, occlusion locations, or thrombus composition have provided controversial results. Here, we performed a correlation analysis between FPE occurrence and AIS thrombus cellular composition, as assessed using quantitative biochemical assays. Patients and methods: Homogenates of AIS thrombi from 250 patients were prepared by mechanical grinding. Platelet, red blood cell (RBC), and leukocyte contents of AIS thrombi were respectively estimated by quantification of GP (glycoprotein) VI, heme, and DNA in thrombus homogenates. FPE was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infraction (mTICI) score of 2C or 3 after a single EVT device pass. Results: AIS thrombi successfully removed after a single pass were poorer in GPVI (0.098 ± 0.023 vs 0.111 ± 0.024 ng/mg, Discussion and conclusion: Thrombus platelet content may hamper thrombus removal by EVT. This result suggests that adjunctive therapies or functionalization of retrieval devices targeting platelets may improve EVT efficacy.
