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

Endovascular thrombectomy is the primary treatment for acute intracranial vessel occlusion and significantly improves recanalization success rate. However, achieving optimal recanalization remains a challenge. The histopathological components of thrombus composition play a crucial role in determining endovascular outcomes. This review aimed to consolidate the recent evidence on the impact of thrombus composition on mechanical properties and endovascular outcomes. The relationship between thrombus composition and mechanical properties was significant, with fibrin and/or platelet-rich thrombi being stiff, tough, elastic, and less deformable; fibrin-rich thrombi were sticky and had higher friction with the vessel wall. Erythrocyte composition was positively associated with successful recanalization, whereas lower platelet composition was associated with specific outcomes, such as the first-pass effect and complete recanalization. The number of thrombectomy device passes was possibly related to erythrocyte, platelet, and fibrin composition, with a smaller number of passes associated with erythrocyte-rich thrombi. Procedural time was consistently related to thrombus composition, with shorter times observed for erythrocyte-rich thrombi. The relationship between thrombus composition and secondary embolism remains inconclusive. Understanding the role of thrombus composition in endovascular outcomes is crucial to optimize stroke treatment. Although evidence suggests a link between thrombus composition and mechanical properties, further research is needed to establish stronger correlations and to reduce study variations. Exploring non-traditional thrombus components such as leukocytes and neutrophil extracellular traps is vital. Thrombus imaging could provide a practical solution for predicting thrombus composition before endovascular procedures. This review highlights the importance of thrombus composition for enhancing endovascular stroke treatment strategies.
