Impact of stent retriever diameter on clinical outcomes in mechanical thrombectomy: a multicenter comparison of the 4-mm and 6-mm Solitaire devices.

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
Objective: Optimal stent retriever diameter for mechanical thrombectomy in large vessel occlusion remains debated. We compared the efficacy and safety of Solitaire 4 × 40 mm and 6 × 40 mm stent retrievers in treating distal internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 segment occlusion. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 145 patients with distal ICA or M1 occlusion treated with the Solitaire 4 × 40 mm ( Results: The 6 × 40 mm group displayed a significantly higher first-pass mTICI ≥2b rate (58.1% vs. 23.7%, Conclusion: The Solitaire 6 × 40 mm stent retriever showed more favorable efficacy outcomes and comparable safety compared to the 4 × 40 mm device for distal ICA or M1 occlusion, suggesting it may be considered a preferred option for these vessels.
