Impact of collateral status on functional outcomes in acute cardioembolic stroke after successful endovascular thrombectomy.
Article in Frontiers in neurology. 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: Collateral circulation sustains the ischemic penumbra during acute large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, its prognostic significance in cardioembolic stroke (CS) patients following successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) remains unclear. We investigated whether collateral status influences functional outcomes in acute CS patients achieving successful recanalization [modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) grade ≥2b]. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed consecutive CS patients achieving successful recanalization with EVT. Collateral status was assessed using the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology (ASITN/SIR) grading system on digital subtraction angiography (DSA). The primary outcome was functional independence [modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2] at 3 months. Secondary outcomes included excellent outcome (mRS 0-1) at 3 months, in-hospital and 3-month mortality, and PH (parenchymal hematoma type 1c or 2) within 72 h. Multivariable logistic regression and subgroup analyses were performed to identify independent associations. Results: Among 354 patients, 211 (59.6%) had good collaterals (ASITN/SIR 2-4) and 143 (40.4%) had poor collaterals (ASITN/SIR 0-1). After adjustment for confounders, good collateral status independently predicted functional independence [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), 2.07; 95% CI, 1.13-3.83; Conclusion: In CS patients achieving successful recanalization, good collateral status is independently associated with improved functional independence and excellent outcome, reduced PH rates within 72 h, and lower in-hospital mortality and 3-month mortality. Collateral assessment may enhance prognostic stratification, particularly in patients with lower baseline ASPECTS.
