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

rationaleThe management of residual stenosis after mechanical thrombectomy in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis-related emerge large vessel occlusive (ICAS-LVO) stroke is still unclear question in clinical practice.

aimTo demonstrate the design of a clinical trial on emergency balloon angioplasty and/or stenting (BAS) combined with standard medical treatment (SMT) for residual stenosis of ICAS-LVO stroke patients with successful recanalisation.

designASSET is a multicentre, prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded end-point, controlled clinical trial designed (PROBE) by investigators. This trial evaluates the effectiveness and the safety of emergency BAS in combination with SMT compared with SMT alone in ICAS-LVO stroke patients with successful recanalisation (defined as expanded treatment in cerebral ischaemia grade of 2b50-3 and maintained for more than 20 min) and residual stenosis (defined as ≥50%) up to 24 hours after the onset of symptoms or the last known well. OUTCOME: The primary outcome assessed at 90 (±7) days after randomisation is the incidence of ischaemic stroke in the responsible vessel. Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage within 24 (±3) hours is the primary safety outcome. DISCUSSION: The ASSET trial is designed to provide strong evidence on the effectiveness and safety of emergency BAS to treat residual stenosis after successful recanalisation in patients with ICAS-LVO stroke. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR2300079069.
