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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe Charlotte Large artery occlusion Endovascular therapy Outcome Score (CLEOS) predicts neurological outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). Given recent expanded indications for EVT, we evaluated CLEOS in a modern cohort of thrombectomy patients.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed consecutive, anterior circulation EVT patients from January to December 2024 at multiple centers. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 4-6. We compared primary outcome rates between the original CLEOS derivation cohort and the validation cohort. The area under the curve (AUC) was calculated for CLEOS and compared to other prognostic scales.

resultsIn the 347 included patients, the mean age was 67.6 (14.9) years, the median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was 15 (10-20), and 137 (42.2%) had a 90-day mRS score of 4-6. A similar proportion of patients in the validation cohort and the derivation cohort achieved the primary outcome (39% each,

conclusionsCLEOS performed well in our modern cohort of thrombectomy patients. Prognostic scales such as CLEOS may be useful in guiding conversations and setting expectations with family members pre- and post-thrombectomy.
