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

Objective: To explore the efficacy and safety of successful mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in elderly patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 437 patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to November 2023 who received successful MT because of anterior circulation large vessel occlusion AIS. They were divided into an elderly group (age ≥ 80 years old) and a young group (age<80 years old). Their clinical data were analyzed. Results: There were 61 cases in the elderly group and 376 cases in the young group. Before and after propensity score matching analysis, there was no significant difference in any type of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hernia, futile recanalization and all-cause mortality between two groups of patients with a Conclusion: The incidence of any type of cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral hernia, futile recanalization and all-cause mortality in elderly patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion AIS was similar to that in young patients. Compared to young patients, MT is also effective and safe in elderly patients.
