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: Mechanical thrombectomy is constantly advancing in terms of devices and techniques to enhance outcomes, and it is now commonly performed worldwide. Delayed stenosis is a potential complication that can occur following the procedure. However, its pathophysiology, risk factors, and time of onset remain unclear. We report 2 cases of delayed severe stenosis after mechanical thrombectomy. Case Presentation: Case 1: A 70-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a right middle cerebral artery occlusion. We performed mechanical thrombectomy promptly. Complete recanalization was achieved after the 2nd thrombectomy attempt with no complications. Case 2: A 24-year-old man was sent to our hospital with an occlusion in his left middle cerebral artery. We quickly performed mechanical thrombectomy, successfully achieving recanalization after the 6th attempt. A post-procedural CT scan revealed an intracranial hemorrhage. In both cases, although no stenosis was observed the next day, significant delayed stenosis was discovered months later after mechanical thrombectomy. However, the patients remained asymptomatic. Conclusion: Mechanical thrombectomy is a recognized treatment for acute ischemic stroke, but there are instances of delayed stenosis following the procedure. Excessive vessel injury caused due to thrombectomy may lead to delayed stenosis. This report emphasizes the importance of regular follow-up after mechanical thrombectomy, particularly in cases where there is a potential for substantial vascular damage due to thrombectomy.
