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.

2 · The registry

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

ObjectiveIn acute tandem occlusion, emergent stenting has recently become an endovascular treatment option combined with mechanical thrombectomy to achieve recanalization. However, data on the beneficial endovascular management of tandem occlusion in two vascular territories remain limited. The purpose of this study was to compare improvements in clinical outcomes between two vascular territories 3 months after emergent stenting.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study included consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who underwent emergent extracranial stenting at our hospital. The primary outcomes were the rate of favorable outcome at 3 months and the incidence of postprocedural hemorrhagic transformation.ResultsPosttreatment outcomes were evaluated in 145 eligible patients who underwent emergent extracranial stenting between December 2020 and June 2025. At 3 months postprocedure, 108 patients (74.5%) had favorable outcomes, of whom 97 (66.9%) achieved good outcomes. Smoking, dyslipidemia, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score ≥12, diffusion-weighted imaging-Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score ≤6, and procedural complications (p < 0.05) were significantly associated with poor outcomes.ConclusionsIn summary, emergent stenting for tandem occlusions involving both vascular territories appears to be an essential recanalization method associated with improved clinical outcomes at the 3-month follow-up.
