Subtype identification of clinical and thrombus imaging features in acute ischemic stroke: using clustering analysis and principal component analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) presents significant heterogeneity in clinical and thrombus imaging characteristics, which can profoundly impact therapeutic decisions and outcomes. This study analyzed 520 AIS patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy, integrating clinical variables and thrombus imaging features to identify potential subtypes through unsupervised clustering and principal component analysis. Three distinct subtypes emerged: Cluster 1, characterized by middle cerebral artery occlusion, shorter thrombus lengths, and favorable outcomes; Cluster 2, comprising predominantly male smokers and drinkers with no significant outcome differences; and Cluster 3, consisting of older patients with higher stroke severity, internal carotid artery occlusion, longer thrombus lengths, and poor outcomes. Key features driving subtype differentiation included atrial fibrillation, thrombus perviousness, and clot burden scores. Significant variations in recanalization and hemorrhagic transformation rates were also observed among clusters. These findings underscore the potential of integrating thrombus imaging characteristics into personalized treatment strategies, offering a more precise approach to prognosis and management for AIS patients.
