Mechanical thrombectomy for mild stroke with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion: a multicenter cohort study.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 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
Background: The clinical benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for anterior circulation emergency large vessel occlusion (ELVO) in patients presenting with a mild National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (<6) remains uncertain. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of MT in this patient population. Methods: We enrolled individuals presenting with mild stroke attributable to anterior circulation LVO from three stroke centers between March 2020 and June 2024. The primary endpoint was an excellent 90-day outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-1. Functional independence at day 90 (mRS 0-2) was considered the secondary endpoint. Safety endpoints consisted of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and all-cause mortality within 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression with inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied to examine the association between MT and clinical outcomes. Results: In total, 140 individuals with mELVO were selected for analysis, receiving either MT [ Conclusion: Among patients with mELVO, MT was not associated with significantly different outcomes compared to MM. Further investigation through randomized controlled trials is warranted.
