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
Objective: Due to its rarity, high-quality evidence regarding mechanical thrombectomy for pediatric acute ischemic stroke remains limited. Case Presentation: A 5-year-old boy hospitalized for pneumonia developed a sudden onset of impaired consciousness and quadriplegia. Brain MRI demonstrated acute infarctions involving the brainstem and left cerebellar hemisphere, and MRA revealed vertebrobasilar artery occlusion. Mechanical thrombectomy using contact aspiration and a combined technique resulted in successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b) with retrieval of red thrombi. Subsequent investigations confirmed Conclusion: This case highlights the feasibility and potential efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in selected pediatric patients with acute ischemic stroke, even in the setting of rare etiologies such as
