Impact of expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) grades on clinical outcomes in patients with large ischemic strokes receiving endovascular treatment.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the impact of the expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) grades on clinical outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) for large ischemic strokes.
methodsThis study was a substudy of a prospective nationwide multicenter registry that included 490 patients with large ischemic strokes undergoing EVT. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-3. Secondary outcomes included the distribution of mRS score, and mRS scores of 0-2 and 0-4 at 90 days. Safety outcomes included 90-day mortality and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 48 h.
resultsAmong 490 patients treated with EVT, 67 (13.7%), 125 (25.5%), and 298 (60.8%) achieved eTICI grades 0-2a, 2b, and 2c-3, respectively. Compared with eTICI grades 0-2a, eTICI grade 2b showed no significant association with an mRS score of 0-3, while eTICI grades 2c-3 were significantly associated with higher odds of achieving an mRS score of 0-3 (adjusted odds ratios [aOR] 3.04, 95% CI 1.39-6.62). Mortality was lower for eTICI grades 2c-3 than for grades 0-2a (aOR 0.47, 95% CI 0.25-0.89). There were no significant differences in sICH rates among three groups. The predicted probability of an mRS score of 0-3 progressively decreased with increasing procedure time, while the predicted probability of mortality progressively increased.
conclusionIn patients with large ischemic strokes undergoing EVT, eTICI grades 2c-3 were significantly associated with improved clinical outcomes. This study suggests that eTICI grades 2c-3 should be considered the ideal target for successful reperfusion in this patient population.
