Advanced age is associated with increased adverse outcomes in patients undergoing middle cerebral artery stenting.

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
Purpose: This study tried to evaluate whether advanced age has an increased incidence of major complications in patients undergoing MCA stenting. Methods: A total of 348 patients who underwent MCA stenting were reviewed from a prospectively maintained database. Ninety-day ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, and death outcomes were compared among the young (≤40 years old), middle (41-60 years old) and old (≥61 years old) groups. Univariate analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to investigate different variables associated with 90-day major adverse events. Kaplan-Meier analysis was performed to determine long-term outcomes during follow-up. Results: The incidence of 90-day ischemic stroke was 9.26% in the old group, 2.86% in the middle group, and 0% in the young group ( Conclusion: Our data indicated that MCA stenting in elderly patients is associated with a high risk of adverse events and should be cautiously considered.
