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

Stroke in children is a rare but devastating disease. Although endovascular treatment has been reported to be safe and effective in the treatment of stroke with large vessel occlusion in this population, there are still limitations and controversies. In this case report, we describe a 12-month-old girl who was admitted to the hospital with acute onset of left-sided hemiplegia and confusion, which turned out to be due to a large infarct in the right middle cerebral artery territory, possibly caused by dissection of the right cervical internal carotid artery. Aspiration thrombectomy was successfully performed, and the patient was able to walk a few steps and raise her left upper extremity at the 12-month follow-up. The aspiration-only technique in thrombectomy may be safe and technically feasible to treat acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion in children as young as 12 months, although large-volume prospective studies are needed.
