Does endovascular thrombectomy using super-bore 0.088" large distal platform offer advantages over balloon guide catheters in acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion?

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
BackgroundBalloon guide catheters (BGCs) can optimize recanalization in endovascular thrombectomies, but recent studies suggest that aspiration catheters sized closely to the target vessel can be effective for recanalization.ObjectiveTo compare the outcomes, efficacy, and safety of a single-surgeon experience replacing BGCs with large distal platform (LDP) catheters.MethodsThis is a retrospective study of patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion undergoing endovascular thrombectomies. Our study population was divided based on use of either the Zoom™ 0.088" LDP (Imperative Care, Inc., Campbell, CA, USA) or Walrus™ BGC (Q'Apel Medical, Fremont, CA, USA). Primary outcomes were the thrombectomy technique used, time from groin puncture to recanalization, first pass effect (FPE), degree of final reperfusion (modified treatment in cerebral infarction [mTICI]), postoperative complications, and all-cause mortality at 90 days.ResultsWe analyzed 48 cases: 27 with Walrus™ BGC and 21 with LDP. Contact aspiration was primarily used with LDP (
