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

purpose of reviewThis literature review highlights the recent evidence and guidelines for endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with large-core infarctions, basilar artery occlusions, and patients presenting in the late-window. RECENT

findingsEVT provides a functional benefit for patients with large-core infarcts compared to medical management. Similar improvements have been observed in basilar artery occlusions. EVT has also demonstrated reduced disability in late-window presentations when selected by computed tomography angiogram/perfusion (CTA/CTP), or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). New evidence suggests noncontrast CT (NCCT)-based selection may be an effective alternative. EVT can reduce disability in patients with small and large-core infarcts, basilar artery occlusions, and late-window presentations compared to medical management. To broaden patient eligibility, future research is needed to clarify EVT's efficacy in very large-core infarcts, mild severity strokes, and patients with medium vessel occlusion.
