Endovascular Treatment of Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes Caused by Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Case Presentation.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Thromboembolic events such as acute ischemic strokes are frequently seen in patients with infective endocarditis (IE). It is generally recommended that the administration of intravenous thrombolytics is avoided in these patients as they might encounter a higher risk of intracranial hemorrhages. In this setting, particularly with a large vessel occlusion (LVO), a mechanical thrombectomy may be an alternative option. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we aimed to investigate the outcomes and safety of mechanical thrombectomies for LVO stroke patients secondary to IE. A search strategy was developed and we searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Sciences, and Embase using the words "infective endocarditis", "stroke", and "mechanical thrombectomy". Including 6 studies and 120 patients overall, this study showed that a mechanical thrombectomy might reduce the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), with a weighted mean difference of -3.06 and a 95% CI of -4.43 to -1.70. The pooled rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages and all-cause mortality were also determined to be 15% (95% CI: 4-47%) and 34% (95% CI:14-61%), respectively. The results of this study showed that a mechanical thrombectomy might be an effective and reasonably safe option for the treatment of LVO strokes caused by IE. However, more large-scale studies are needed to consolidate these results.
