An Institutional Perspective on the Number of Stent Retriever Pass and Rate of Recanalization in Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke: When to Stop?
Article in Acta medica Lituanic, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Background and purpose: Mechanical thrombectomy is the standard treatment modality for flow restoration in acute ischemic stroke. In cases of persistent occlusion, the optimal number of retrieval attempts before considering procedure termination is currently undetermined and is a topic for research. Therefore in this study, we studied the impact of the number of stent retrieval maneuvers on the recanalization of vessels. Methods: In this retrospective single-center observational study we included 52 patients with large vessel occlusion who underwent stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy. Successful recanalization rate was defined as modified TICI (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction) 2b or 3. Result: The overall successful recanalization rate was 44.24%. The recanalization rate per stent retrieval attempt was the highest in 1st attempt (28.84%) and no recanalization was observed with the 3rd, 5th, and 6th attempts (p<0.001). At most 6 retrieval attempts were used. Conclusions: After two retrieval attempts, 91% of the patients were successfully recanalized and other after the 5th attempt could not result in recanalization.
