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

backgroundThe efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) performed beyond 24 hours from the last known well remain uncertain. This study aims to investigate the potential benefits of EVT versus best medical management (BMM) beyond 24 hours.

methodsTRACK-LVO Late (Late Triage of Patients Presenting Beyond 24 Hours With Acute Ischemic Stroke Due to Large Vessel Occlusions) is an ongoing, multicenter, prospective cohort study. A total of 410 individuals met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the cohort analyses from 2018 to 2024. The primary outcome was functional independence, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 90 days. Safety outcomes included all-cause mortality within 90 days and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. A propensity score analysis was conducted to adjust for baseline imbalances. The association between treatment and primary outcome/safety outcomes was assessed using logistic regression, adjusted for age, sex, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, premorbid modified Rankin Scale score, occlusion sites, and time from onset to admission.

resultsAmong the 410 patients, 209 were in the EVT group and 201 in the BMM group. The EVT group showed higher odds of functional independence in the propensity score-matched cohort (adjusted odds ratio, 4.13 [95% CI, 2.42-7.05];

conclusionEVT performed after 24 hours from the last known well was associated with higher rates of functional independence compared with BMM and demonstrated acceptable safety. High-quality randomized trials are needed to further compare EVT and BMM beyond 24 hours from the last known well.
