Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Occlusion Caused by Tumor Embolism: A Case Report.
Article in Journal of neuroendovascular therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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: We report a case of acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion caused by tumor embolism. Case Presentation: A 64-year-old man with lung cancer presented with sudden onset left-sided hemiparesis and sensory disturbance. Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) revealed hyper-intense foci in the right MCA territory and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) demonstrated right MCA M2 segment occlusion. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) was performed with Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction 2B recanalization. On histopathology, thrombus composed of fibrin and squamous cell carcinoma was observed. We diagnosed him with tumor embolism from lung cancer that invaded the pulmonary vein and the left atrium. Conclusion: Tumor cells may be confirmed by pathological examination regardless of the morphology of the embolus. Pathological examination of the cerebral embolus is useful for the accurate diagnosis of ischemic stroke subtypes.
