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

Background: Endovascular recanalization is a feasible option for treating symptomatic non-acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) patients. Hence, we aimed to establish a new angiographic scoring to grade the recanalization difficulty of MCAO to determine the suitable patients for endovascular treatment. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed a total of 113 consecutive recurrent symptomatic non-acute MCAO patients who underwent endovascular recanalization from July 2015 to August 2021 in four Chinese comprehensive stroke centers. All patients were reappraised using a new angiographic scoring based on the stump morphology, the MCA occlusion length, MCA bend, and the distal vascular bed of MCAO. We used the final results to establish the patients' outcomes. Results: The total successful recanalization and perioperative complication rates were 83.2% (94/113) and 15.9% (18/113), respectively. No deaths occurred within 30 days. Moreover, 96.9, 90, 87.5, 52.6, and 50% of the patients achieved recanalization with scores of 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 ( Conclusion: The new angiographic scoring can effectively predict the successful recanalization rate, perioperative complication rate, and TMO of endovascular recanalization for non-acute MCAO. It can also be used as an effective clinical evaluation tool to determine the suitable non-acute MCAO patients for recanalization, especially with a score ≤ 2.
