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

Background: Use of stent retrievers in managing ischemic stroke has been shown to improve outcomes. Data on stent retrievers in managing intracoronary thrombus are limited. This study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of the Solitaire revascularization device (Medtronic) in managing recalcitrant intracoronary thrombus. Methods: Patients with acute coronary syndrome and residual large thrombus after treatment with conventional methods underwent treatment with the Solitaire device. The primary efficacy end point was the rate of successful recanalization, defined as Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow increase to ≥2 or thrombus grade (TG) decrease to ≤2 at postprocedure. Secondary end points included improvements in postprocedure TG and myocardial blush grade. The primary safety end point was occurrence of stroke. Results: Between June 2019 and November 2022, 51 patients underwent thrombectomy with the Solitaire device. The estimated successful recanalization rate was 76.5% (95% CI, 62.0%-87.2%) after Solitaire use and 92.2% (95% CI, 81.1%-97.8%) at the end of the procedure. TG reduced to ≤2 in 28 (54.9%) patients after Solitaire and 43 (84.3%) patients at the end of the procedure. There was significant improvement in myocardial blush grade with an improvement rate of 40% (95% CI, 22.7%-59.4%) after Solitaire and 66.7% (95% CI, 47.2%-82.7%) at the end of procedure. There was no incidence of stroke postprocedurally or up to 30 days postdischarge. Conclusions: The Solitaire device is an effective adjunctive tool in managing recalcitrant intracoronary thrombus, with a low risk of complications.
