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

We describe our experience with the 16F Lightning Flash vacuum aspiration mechanical thrombectomy system in 25 patients. All patients were treated in a single session with a mean estimated blood loss of 60 mL. Alteplase was not used in any patient in this series. Resolution of at least 50% thrombus or more at the end of the procedure on intravascular ultrasound examination was performed for all patients. Eight-eight percent of patients maintained venous patency at their most recent follow-up range, 8-26 months). No perioperative pulmonary embolism or device-related complications were observed.
