Effect of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction on the Outcome of Mechanical Thrombectomy.
Article in Journal of neuroendovascular therapy, 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
Objective: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction has traditionally been considered an unfavorable prognostic factor in stroke. However, chronic hypoperfusion due to this dysfunction may improve cerebral collateral flow, potentially serving as a compensatory mechanism during ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the effects of left ventricular systolic dysfunction on outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT), with a focus on cerebral collateral flow. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 94 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent MT between April 2017 and July 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their left ventricular ejection fraction (EF): the reduced EF group (EF ≤40%) and the preserved EF group (EF >40%). We evaluated post-treatment stroke volume, clinical outcomes, length of hospital stay, and the relationship between EF and cerebral collateral flow. Results: The reduced and preserved EF groups consisted of 11 (12%) and 83 (88%) patients, respectively. No significant differences were observed in post-treatment stroke volume (13 vs. 12 cm Conclusion: Left ventricular systolic dysfunction did not significantly worsen outcomes after MT. Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion due to left ventricular systolic dysfunction may promote the development of cerebral collaterals, potentially enhancing resistance to ischemic events.
