Preliminary results of mechanical thrombectomy with the novel Titan aspiration catheter in acute ischemic stroke patients.

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
purposeThe aim of this study was to reveal our preliminary experience related to the technical success and safety of the Titan aspiration catheter in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.
methodsForty-eight consecutive AIS patients (mean age 62.6 ± 13.8 years) treated with Titan aspiration catheter, using both the ADAPT technique or combined approach with a stent retriever, were included in the study. The primary outcome was successful recanalization (mTICI ≥ 2c-3), and the secondary outcomes were complication rates and 90th day clinical outcomes.
resultsThe mean NIHSS score of the patients was 14.63 ± 3.04, and the mean time from groin puncture to recanalization was 24.72 ± 12.48 min. Successful recanalization was achieved in 35 (72.91%) patients. Postprocedural symptomatic hemorrhage was seen in 5 patients (10.41%). Rate of good clinical outcomes on day 90 was 45.83%. There were 7 deaths (14.58%) in this study.
conclusionThe aspiration thrombectomy method is increasingly being used in AIS cases due to its rapid patency rate and its relatively easy application. Because of technological advances, newer aspiration catheters have been improved and are commercially available. Our preliminary results showed that the Titan aspiration catheter could be a useful tool both with the ADAPT technique and the combined approach. Additionally, the fact that the device is offered as a kit may be important in terms of cost-effectiveness.
