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

BackgroundPosterior cerebral arteries with acute ischemic strokes (PCA-AISs) comprise around 2% of all acute ischemic strokes and may result in significant long-term deficits. Current guidance regarding endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for PCA-AIS is insufficient as no published randomized trials exist.MethodsAn analysis of the National Inpatient Sample database compared medical management versus EVT for PCA-AIS. Propensity score matching was applied to adjust for nonrandomization.ResultsThe study included 19,655 patients. Before matching, the EVT cohort had significantly higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) (10.21 vs. 4.67,
