Cardioembolic stroke in Takayasu arteritis treated with dual stent retriever via brachial access: A case report.
Article in Radiology case reports, 2026. 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
Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a large-vessel vasculitis that may predispose to ischemic stroke through arterial stenosis, dissection, in-situ thrombosis, or cardiac embolism. We report the case of a 36-year-old man with TA who presented with acute left hemiplegia due to right MCA M1 occlusion. Because of extensive aortoiliac disease, mechanical thrombectomy was performed via right brachial access using two stent retrievers across the M1 bifurcation, achieving single-pass complete reperfusion (mTICI 3). Post-procedural echocardiography revealed a large mobile apical left-ventricular thrombus, indicating a cardioembolic mechanism, and anticoagulation was initiated. The patient recovered to NIHSS 0 at discharge and mRS 1 at 3 months. This case highlights the feasibility of brachial access and dual stent retriever technique in TA patients with inaccessible femoral arteries, and underscores the importance of individualized access and device strategies in complex vascular anatomy.
