Hyperdense sign as a predictor for successful recanalization and clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

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
ObjectiveTo assess the prognostic values of hyperdense sign on pretreatment non-contrast head CT scan for successful recanalization (mTICI ≥2b) and 90-day good functional outcome (mRs 0-2) in patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT).MethodsLiterature search on PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases from inception up to 1 November 2023 was conducted. Twelve studies which reported hyperdense sign, recanalization and clinical outcomes were included in qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis.ResultsPooled analysis demonstrated a statistically significant association between successful recanalization and hyperdense sign-positive patients who underwent MT (odd ratios (OR) = 1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.03-2.10,
