Two mechanical thrombectomies in acute ischemic stroke within 48 hours: A case report on a patient with atrial fibrillation.

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
Mechanical thrombectomy is the gold standard in treating acute ischemic stroke complicated by large vessel occlusion. However, there are limited studies on repeated mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. In this case, we report a 68-year-old male with atrial fibrillation who developed sudden left limb weakness and motor aphasia for 6 hours, and his National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 10. Computed tomography angiography (CTA) showed occlusion of the right internal carotid artery, and mechanical thrombectomy was performed immediately. The patient's neurologic disability was utterly relieved, and the NIHSS score returned to 0. At 30 hours postoperatively, he again developed left limb weakness with motor aphasia. The NHISS Score was 11, and the CTA showed that the right internal carotid artery was re-occluded. After computed tomography perfusion evaluation, the patient underwent mechanical thrombectomy again, and the etiological examination confirmed Cardioembolism. Anticoagulation therapy was commenced 1 week post-thrombectomy. The prognosis of the patients was good.
