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.

Abstract

Introduction: The clinical factor impact on outcomes after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients aged ≥70 years remains incompletely understood. We aimed to identify predictors of good outcomes after EVT in patients aged ≥70 years, defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2. Methods: This retrospective, single-center cohort study included 94 patients aged ≥70 years with acute ischemic stroke who underwent EVT. Participants were stratified into septuagenarians ( Results: At presentation, the median ischemic core was higher in octo/nonagenarians compared to septuagenarians (20 mL vs. 4 mL, Conclusion: Age was not independently associated with functional outcomes. Age-related differences in outcomes may be mediated by initial stroke characteristics rather than age. Clinical trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov, identifier NCT06953427.
