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

objectiveTreatment failure usually occurs within 24 hours after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute intracranial atherosclerotic steno-occlusion (ICAS) and is an unexpected event that adversely influences the clinical outcome. We retrospectively evaluated the factors influencing reocclusion after MT plus rescue treatment in acute ICAS patients with successful recanalization.

methodsFrom January 2013 to December 2020, 60 patients with ICAS who underwent MT plus rescue treatment with successful recanalization were included in our study. We classified the patients into a patency group (n=47, 78.3%) and a reocclusion group (n=13, 21.7%) based on CT angiography data obtained the day after MT plus rescue treatment.

resultsIntravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV t-PA) in the patency group (n=18/47 (38.3%)) significantly differed from that in the reocclusion group (n=1/13 (7.7%)) (p=0.045). The number of thrombectomy attempts in the reocclusion group was significantly greater than that in the patency group (median [interquartile range], 2 [1-3] vs. 1 [0-1.5], p=0.004). According to the univariate logistic regression analysis, the only prognostic factor for reocclusion was the number of thrombectomy attempts (odds ratio (OR), 1.655 [1.046-2.619], p=0.032). Conclusions: In our study of ICAS patients who achieved successful recanalization after MT plus rescue treatment, the number of thrombectomy attempts was an independent prognostic factor for reocclusion after MT. Accordingly, for highly suspicious ICAS lesions, additional attempts at the MT should be carefully performed to prevent reocclusion.
