Fusion Imaging in Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke.
Article in Stroke (Hoboken, N.J.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06975696 (Fusion Imaging in Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Background: Recanalization sometimes fails during endovascular thrombectomy due to target vessel access failure. Two-dimensional/3-dimensional fusion imaging in the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane platform may facilitate access by fusing the preoperative computed tomography angiography with procedural imaging. This observational study aimed to evaluate vascular access, success rates, and procedure times in endovascular thrombectomies with fusion imaging compared to standard treatment. Methods: Patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy for ischemic stroke at Skåne University Hospital in Lund, Sweden, were consecutively included. Baseline and procedural characteristics were gathered from radiological patient records. Procedural success rate and lead times such as groin-to-recanalization times were evaluated. Associations between fusion imaging and first-pass recanalization and groin to first pass <30 minutes were also assessed. Results: Of 347 patients, fusion imaging was used in 68 cases. Failure to reach the occlusion occurred in 6 (2%) of the nonfusion cases compared with none in the fusion group. Successful recanalization (modified Treatment in Cerebral Infarction score ≥2b) was obtained in all fusion cases, compared with 86% in the nonfusion group ( Conclusion: Fusion imaging use in the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane platform in endovascular thrombectomy is not associated with worsened procedural results and appears to decrease failed target artery access risk and increase procedural success rate as well as first-pass success rate, without procedure prolongation. These initial observational findings need to be further evaluated in prospective randomized studies.
