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

backgroundAn obesity paradox, whereby patients with higher body mass index (BMI) experience improved outcomes, has been described for ischemic stroke. It is unclear whether this applies to patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO).

methodsMechanical thrombectomies for anterior circulation LVO between 2015 and 2021 at a single institution were reviewed. Multivariable logistic regressions were used to determine the association between BMI and favorable functional outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale 0-2), intracranial hemorrhage, and malignant middle cerebral infarction. A systematic review was performed to identify studies reporting the effect of BMI on outcomes among patients receiving MT for LVO. The data from the systematic review were combined with the institutional data by using a random effects model.

resultsThe institutional cohort comprised 390 patients with a median BMI of 27 kg/m

conclusionsObesity is not associated with favorable outcomes in patients undergoing MT for LVO.
