Novel Tenzing 7 Delivery Catheter for Thrombectomy in Acute Stroke: A Clinical Multicenter Experience.
Article in Stroke (Hoboken, N.J.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Background: Preliminary in vitro and early clinical experience of the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter demonstrated high success rates of aspiration catheter intracranial delivery with minimal complications. This study aimed to examine the efficacy, safety, and efficiency of the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter to deliver therapeutic devices in aspiration mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic strokes using clinical experience from multiple institutions. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with aspiration mechanical thrombectomy using the Tenzing 7 delivery catheter between January 2020 and July 2022 at 6 high volume stroke centers. Primary efficacy outcome was success in aspiration catheter delivery to the face of the thrombus, and primary safety end point was rate of procedural complication. Results: Of a total of 176 patients (mean age 70.1±14.9 years, 56.3% female, 89.2% middle cerebral artery occlusions), first-pass effect (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score≥2B) was achieved in 90/166 (54.2%) successfully revascularized patients. Tenzing 7 delivered the aspiration catheter of choice to the site of occlusion in 95.9% of cases; the clot was not crossed with Tenzing 7 in 69% of cases. Successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score≥2B) was achieved in 94.9% of cases requiring a median of 1 pass (interquartile range 1-3). Nonflow limiting vessel dissection unrelated to Tenzing 7 occurred in 4 patients (2.3%), and intracranial vessel perforation unrelated to Tenzing 7 occurred in 4 cases (2.3%). Conclusion: This multicenter clinical experience using Tenzing 7 in mechanical thrombectomy demonstrated high rates of technical success and a modest complication rate, similar to the published rates of technical success with other thrombectomy techniques. The Tenzing 7 delivery catheter is effective and safe for the delivery of the aspiration catheter in patients undergoing thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke.
