Direct Aspiration versus Combined Technique for Distal Medium-Vessel Occlusions: Comparison on a Human Placenta Model.
Article in AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 purposeMechanical thrombectomy appears to be a promising option for distal medium-vessel occlusions, for which intravenous thrombolysis is effective but may be insufficient when used alone. This study aimed to determine the optimal technique for these distal mechanical thrombectomies using the human placenta model. MATERIALS AND
methodsTwenty-four procedures were performed, allowing comparison of direct aspiration (
resultsThe first-pass recanalization was less frequent for direct aspiration than for the combined technique, without reaching statistical significance (41.7% versus 75.0%,
conclusionsThe combined technique appears to be more harmful, and although direct aspiration has a lower rate of first-pass recanalization, it seems appropriate to try direct aspiration as a first-line procedure. However, if the aspiration catheter cannot reach the clot, it is not useful or even risky to try aspiration alone. These results need to be confirmed by clinical studies.
