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: Pooled blood volume (PBV), measured in real-time in the angiography room using an angiography system, correlates with cerebral blood volume (CBV). We examined the usefulness of PBV in endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: EVT for AIS in the anterior circulation (internal carotid artery (ICA) and middle cerebral artery (MCA)) was performed in 31 cases (13 males, 18 females, average age 75.7 years). PBV was acquired using a biplane flat-panel detector (FD) angiographic system. Then, we measured the average PBV value in the M1-6 regions similar to the Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score (ASPECTS) before and after EVT. We investigated factors associated with favorable outcome at 90 days after EVT. Results: There were 13 patients (41.9%) in the good outcome group (mRS (modified Rankin Scale) ≦2) and 18 patients (58.1%) in the poor outcome group (mRS>2). In univariate analysis, NIHSS (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale) (odds ratio [OR] 0.74, 95% CI 0.57-0.87, p < 0.0001) and post PBV value (odds ratio [OR] 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.29, p = 0.0086) were significantly associated with good outcome. The good outcome group had significantly higher post-thrombectomy PBV value (3.69 ± 0.32 ml/100 g versus 2.78 ± 0.93 ml/100 g, P = 0.002) compared to that of the poor outcome group. The relationship between pre-thrombectomy PBV value and outcome at 90 days was not significant. Conclusions: Post-operative PBV value measured by FD-CT (computed tomography) correlated with 90-day outcome after EVT for AIS. FD-CT-PBV would be one of the good predictors of clinical outcome.
