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

Pediatric large-vessel occlusion has a poor natural history. Recent retrospective studies have demonstrated the potential benefits, feasibility, and safety profile of mechanical thrombectomy in children. However, the role of thrombectomy in pediatric M2 occlusions remains uncertain. In this clinical report, we present a multicenter series of 6 pediatric patients with acute M2 occlusion (female = 1, male = 5; age range, 0.9-16.0 years, mean = 9.2). All 6 patients having undergone thrombectomy had excellent clinical outcomes (pediatric mRS = 0-1) at 3 months and final available follow-up (median, 12 months; range, 3-72 months). Factors relevant to treatment decision-making in pediatric M2 occlusions are discussed, including the important role of multidisciplinary team discussions during acute management.
