Endovascular thrombectomy in young patients with large vessel occlusion stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Neurosurgical review, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Data on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in young stroke patients due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) are limited. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to compare the safety and efficacy of EVT in young patients (˂50 years) compared to older patients (≥ 50 years). A comprehensive literature search was conducted based on PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library. We included studies that directly compared clinical outcomes of EVT in young patients and older patients. Random-effects meta-analyses were performed to measure functional independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 0-2 at 90 days), successful recanalization (expanded TICI [eTICI] score ≥ 2b) rates, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) rates, and mortality at 90 days. A total of three studies were included, encompassing 11,575 patients. The pooled analysis demonstrated that EVT significantly improved functional independence (OR = 2.47; 95% CI, 1.83-3.33; P < 0.00001) and reduced mortality (OR = 0.29; 95% CI, 0.09-0.90; P = 0.03) in young patients, compared to older patients. Recanalization rates were higher than older patients (OR = 1.22; 95% CI, 1.02-1.46; P = 0.03). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 3.37% of young patients (30/889) and 4.50% of older patients (481/10686) (OR = 0.67; 95% CI, 0.45-0.98; P = 0.04). Endovascular thrombectomy is effective and safe in young patients with LVO stroke, leading to improved clinical outcomes, compared with older patients.
