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

backgroundIn mechanical thrombectomy for acute large vessel occlusion, a combined technique of using both a stent retriever and an aspiration catheter has been widely used. The authors report a case in which a stent retriever's pushwire and a microcatheter were caught and disconnected by an accordion-like deformed aspiration catheter. OBSERVATIONS: A 74-year-old man underwent mechanical thrombectomy for a left M1 occlusion. A stent retriever was deployed from the left M2 to the left distal M1, and an aspiration catheter was advanced to the left distal M1. When the stent retriever and microcatheter were pulled into the aspiration catheter at the distal M1 without releasing the deflection, traction resistance of the stent retriever occurred, and the aspiration catheter contracted and deformed like an accordion distal to the tip of the guiding catheter. The stent retriever's pushwire and the microcatheter were caught and disconnected. LESSONS: When a stent retriever is pulled into a flexible aspiration catheter in a case with vascular tortuosity, it may be caught by an accordion-like deformed aspiration catheter and disconnected. It is necessary to release the deflection of the aspiration catheter once traction resistance of the stent retriever and deflection of the aspiration catheter occur.
