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

The role of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke due to distal vessel occlusions (DVOs) remains to be clarified. Anatomical complexities in the distal vasculature, such as tortuosity and vessel fragility, render technique selection particularly paramount during EVT. Herein, we present two illustrative cases of anatomically similar DVOs treated with two different techniques at a single institution to frame a discussion of important procedural considerations during EVT for DVO.
