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
Objective: Embolization of thrombus to a new vascular territory (ENT) is a feared and important complication of cerebral thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke. This study explores the utilization of 2 simultaneous stent retrievers to prevent ENT, as well as its alternative setups. Methods: An in vitro glass model with a unilateral anterior cerebral vasculature was used to recreate a challenging scenario that intrinsically facilitates ENT. Four different thrombectomy techniques were tested and compared across a total of 50 in vitro procedures: Technique [1]-single stent retriever; Techniques [2] and [3]-dual stent retrievers with asymmetric and symmetric stent retrieval, respectively; and Technique [4]-dual stent retrievers combined with distal aspiration. The success rate and time to perform the procedures were compared using the Fisher's exact test and Mann-Whitney Results: The collective performance of dual-stent techniques [2 + 3 + 4] yielded successful recanalization on 1st pass without ENT in 24/30 cases (80%), which was statistically significantly better than the 8/20 (40%) achieved with the single-stent technique [1] ( Conclusion: Overall, the results suggest that applying dual stent retrievers performs better than the single-stent-retrieval technique in preventing ENT and achieving a single-pass procedure. Among all techniques, combining dual stent retrievers with aspiration through a distal catheter performed best.
