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

PurposeDetection of vessel wall tissue in thrombus material in patients with ischemic stroke is judged as vascular injury. So far, several studies investigated components of the free clots after mechanical thrombectomy. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the involvement and role of the stentriever in vessel wall injury by analysis of the composition of adherent tissue to the stentriever during combined aspiration thrombectomy with stentriever.MethodsStentriever with adherent tissue and free clots in aspiration samples from patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (aspiration plus stentriever) were separately assessed for the occurrence of parts of vascular tissue together with clinical and interventional data as well as clinical outcome data. Specimens were analyzed histomorphologically and immunohistochemically. Findings, focused on parts of vessel wall were reported together with clinical data.ResultsSpecimens from 21 identified patients were available. Parts of the vessel wall were detected in 7 out 21 (33%) samples. All specimens revealed fresh thrombus material without signs of organization or atheromatous tissue. In 90% of patients mTICI was greater than 2b without signs of secondary vessel injury. No vascular tissue was found in free clots of the aspiration samples.ConclusionThe examination of adherent tissue to the stentriever instead of the examination of free clots may affect the number of detected parts of vessel wall. Further studies in combination with vessel wall imaging may elucidate the origin of remnants of vessel wall.
