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

Recent studies have reported that endovascular thrombectomy (ET) may improve neurological outcomes in large-core stroke.We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the pooled efficacy and safety of ET and of the best medical treatment among patients with large-core stroke.We searched the PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases from inception to November 2023. The inclusion criteria were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing ET and the best medical treatment available among patients with large-core stroke (Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score [ASPECTS] < 6 or ischemic core > 50 mL on perfusion imaging) within 24 hours of symptom onset.We included 6 RTCs comprising 1,887 patients (ET group:
