Mechanical thrombectomy for cerebrovascular occlusion in a patient with situs inversus.

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
Situs inversus is a rare congenital abnormality characterized by mirror-image transposition of the major visceral organs and vessels. Few reports have discussed the use of mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke with situs inversus. We present such a case, to raise awareness and deepen the knowledge on these cases. A 44-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with sudden-onset dysarthria and left-sided paresis. Computed tomography (CT) angiography revealed situs inversus and occlusion in the internal carotid artery. First, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator was administered, followed by immediate reperfusion with mechanical thrombectomy. We achieved thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade 3. After the procedure, the patient fully recovered. Prompt diagnosis is crucial for rapid recanalization in patients with vascular anomalies such as situs inversus.
