Sex-based differences in outcomes following endovascular therapy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion: a pooled analysis of DEVT, RESCUE BT, and MARVEL trials.
Article in Frontiers in neurology, 2025. 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
Background: This study sought to characterize sex-specific treatment effects by comparing clinical outcomes between men and women undergoing EVT. Methods: Analyses were based on the DEVT, RESCUE BT, and MARVEL databases. Men and women were matched using propensity score matching (PSM). The primary outcome was defined as the 90-day ordinal modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) distribution. Secondary outcomes included the favorite outcome (mRS 0 to 3), functional independence (mRS 0 to 2), and excellent outcome (mRS 0 to 1). Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) and mortality. Results: Of 2,862 patients, 1,221 (42.7%) were women and 1,641 (57.3%) were men. After adjusting for covariates, there were no sex differences in 90-day ordinal mRS distribution (median [interquartile range], 3 [1-6] versus 3 [1-5], common odds ratio [OR], 1.02 [0.89-1.18], Conclusion: This pooled analysis demonstrated that no statistically significant differences were observed between men and women in clinical or safety outcomes following EVT for anterior circulation LVO. Furthermore, there was no evidence of interaction between sex and predefined subgroups in terms of treatment effect modification for EVT outcomes.
