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

Objective: The course of the vessel affects the success of recanalization and can cause complications in mechanical thrombectomy (MT); however, no study has been reported a method for outlining vessel course prior to MT. We propose magnetic resonance (MR) fusion images as a useful tool in MT for acute ischemic stroke. Case Presentations: A 73-year-old woman and a 79-year-old man were admitted to our hospital with left hemiparesis. In both patients, MR revealed acute ischemic stroke due to right middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion. MR fusion images were created with 3D T2-weighted sampling perfection with application-optimized contrasts using different flip angle evolution (SPACE) and 3D time-of-flight (TOF) MRA acquired before MT clearly revealed the occluded right MCA. In both cases, the fusion image is enabled information about the course of the right MCA and its branches to be obtained prior to performing MT. The thrombi were removed with a stent retriever and reperfusion catheter with no complications, and there was remarkable resolution of symptoms in both patients immediately after the procedure. Conclusion: A fusion image of T2-weighted SPACE and 3D TOF MRA appears to be a simple and effective method for determining the course of the occluded vessel prior to MT for acute ischemic stroke. This technique will enable good recanalization in MT for acute ischemic stroke and should reduce complications.
