Efficacy and Safety of Bridging Lysis Compared to Direct Thrombectomy at Different Occlusion Sites in Acute Ischemic Stroke of the Anterior and Posterior Circulation.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 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
purposeWe investigated whether bridging therapy (BL) was more effective as compared to thrombectomy alone (DT) in the posterior circulation and M2 occlusions as compared to M1 occlusions in patients with acute ischemic stroke. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis study is based on data from 4853 patients that were enrolled in the nationwide registry of the German Society for Neuroradiology between 2018 and 2022. Outcome measures included the relative proportion of patients with a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 0-8 at discharge, successful reperfusion defined as a modified treatment in cerebral infarction score of 2b, 2c, or 3, the occurrence of intracranial hemorrhage, embolism in another vascular territory and mortality.
resultsThere were no significant differences (p < 0.05) between the groups with DT and BL in periprocedural complications, mortality and functional outcome for patients with occlusion of the M1 and M2 segment. Significant higher recanalization rates were found for the M1 segment (BL 89.3%, DT 84.9%, p = 0.009) in patients treated with BL; no significant differences were found between the groups for the M2 segment. In patients with basilar occlusion, we found a significantly higher embolization rate in patients with BL (BL 2.7%, DT 1%, p = 0.018) and all other outcome measures did not differ significantly.
conclusionOur analysis does not show significant differences in mortality, hemorrhage and functional outcome rates between BL and DT for patients with M1, M2 and basilar occlusions. BL was not associated with different recanalization rates in patients with M2 and basilar occlusions.
