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

The effectiveness of endovascular therapy for patients aged 90 years and over (≥90 years) is still not well understood. We compared the patients aged ≥90 years with those aged 85-89 years, 80-84 years, and <80 years using data from the Japanese Registry of NeuroEndovascular Therapy that enrolled acute large vessel occlusion patients from January 2015 to December 2019. The primary outcome was the rate of return of the modified Rankin Scale to at least the premorbid modified Rankin Scale after 30 days. Secondary outcomes were the incidences of intracranial hemorrhage and mortality.Among 13,540 patients, patients aged ≥90 years, 85-89 years, 80-84 years, and <80 years were 1,104, 1,925, 2,477, and 8,034. The prevalence of female gender, the premorbid Rankin Scale, and the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score before endovascular therapy were highest in the patients aged ≥90 years (n [%], 819 [74.2]; median [interquartile range]; 2 [0-3], and 21 [15-26]). The primary outcome of the adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence intervals) for the patients aged 85-89 years, 80-84 years, and <80 years for ≥90 years was 0.89 (0.72-1.10), 0.95 (0.77-1.16) and 1.07 (0.89-1.28). However, the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was lower in patients aged ≥90 years compared with patients aged 85-89 years and <80 years (adjusted odds ratio [95% confidence intervals]; 1.86 [1.16-2.98] and 1.71 [1.11-2.64]). The return of the modified Rankin Scale to at least the premorbid modified Rankin Scale after 30 days in patients aged ≥90 years with large vessel occlusion was not significantly different in other groups but symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was less observed than in younger patients.
