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: To investigate whether intracranial artery calcification (IAC) serves as a reliable imaging predictor of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes and to develop robust machine learning (ML) models incorporating preoperative emergency data to predict outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: This retrospective study included patients with AIS and anterior circulation occlusion who underwent MT at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University and the Central Hospital Affiliated to Dalian University of Technology between January 2017 and December 2024. Patients were categorized into favorable [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2] and poor outcome (mRS 3-6) groups based on their 90-day functional independence. Preoperative clinical and radiological data, including a quantitative assessment of IAC, were systematically collected. Eleven ML algorithms were trained and validated using Python, and external validation and performance evaluations were conducted. The Shapley additive explanation (SHAP) method was used to interpret the optimal model. Results: A total of 823 eligible patients were enrolled and stratified into training ( Conclusion: The total volume of IAC is a critical imaging biomarker for predicting MT outcomes in patients with anterior circulation AIS. The ML models developed using preoperative emergency data demonstrated strong predictive performance, providing a valuable tool to help clinicians identify suitable MT candidates with greater precision.
