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

PurposeThe efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for M2 occlusion remains uncertain, partly due to recanalization challenges owing to anatomical factors and hemorrhagic complications. This study investigated the best method for M2 occlusion based on the M1-M2 bifurcation angle.MethodsWe retrospectively evaluated the clinical data of 134 consecutive patients with M2 occlusion who underwent MT. The M1-M2 angle was measured between the conterminous (M2) and immediately proximal (M1) vessel segments with respect to the occlusion site. Patients were divided into the acute- and obtuse-angle groups. For each angle, we investigated the stent retriever (SR), contact aspiration (CA), and combined technique (CT) of MT.ResultsThere were 64 and 70 obtuse- and acute-angle cases, respectively. Univariate analysis showed no significant difference in the M1-M2 angle between the groups, but there was a trend toward increased intracranial hemorrhage in the obtuse-angle group (56% vs. 41%,
