1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: Stent-retrievers used for mechanical thrombectomy are self-expanding tubular stent-like devices with modified mesh structures for clot removal. Tigertriever is designed to provide manual control of its diameter and curvature. Methods: A retrospective single-center study was performed to compare Tigertriever with SolitaireX and pRESET (stent-like stent-retrievers group) using propensity score analysis. Patients treated in a comprehensive stroke center due to large vessel occlusion between January 2016 and August 2021 were evaluated. Baseline characteristics and treatment results were compared between these groups before and after pair matching. Results: There were 140 patients (60 in Tigertriever and 80 in the stent-like stent-retriever group). In propensity score analysis, 52 matched pairs were selected in Tigertriever and stent-like stent-retriever groups. The Tigertriever group had a better successful first pass revascularization rate [46 vs. 23%, OR (95% CI): 1.7 (1.1-2.9), Conclusion: Tigertriever had a significantly better successful first pass revascularization rate and shorter groin-to-revascularization time in the analysis done before and after propensity score matching with stent-like stent-retrievers. Tigertriever is comparable to stent-like stent-retrievers regarding mortality at 3 months, favorable mRS at 3 months, favorable recanalization rate, or symptomatic cerebral hemorrhagic events.
