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

BackgroundIn mechanical thrombectomy procedures, physicians are often forced to cross the clot to get more support in tortuous anatomy. Stentriever procedures always require traversing the clot. Novel delivery assist catheters with a tapered distal tip have been developed to aid aspiration catheter delivery. This study compares a novel delivery assist catheter to conventional support strategies in terms of reperfusion and distal embolization. The impact of remaining proximal versus entering the clot is also investigated, as is the impact of incorporating a Superbore 088 catheter.MethodsSoft, medium, and stiff ovine blood clots were used to form ICA/M1 occlusions in an in-vitro thrombectomy model. Two approaches were tested: navigating the aspiration catheter with and without crossing/entering the clot with support devices. Six setups were tested: Millipede
