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 impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) on outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is controversial, and with a paucity of evidence base. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between AF and outcomes after MT in AIS patients. A post-hoc analysis of a multi-center prospective clinical trial was conducted. Before and after propensity score matching (PSM), the clinical features were compared between patients with and without AF. Multivariable logistic regression and mediation analyses were performed to assess the relationship between AF and ICH. Of the total 245 patients, 123 patients were included in the AF group. After PSM, the AF group showed more retrieval attempts (P = 0.004), comparable favorable outcome (P = 0.493), and mortality (P = 0.362) at 90 days. Multivariate analysis revealed that AF was significantly associated with increased risk for ICH (OR 2.198; 95%CI 1.099-4.395; P = 0.026). INR and retrieval attempts were found to act as partial mediations. In the subgroup with lower INR, AF still had a significant association with ICH (OR 2.496; 95%CI 1.331-4.679; P = 0.004). In AIS patients undergoing MT, AF was associated with more retrieval attempts and higher risk of any ICH. Of note, the effect of AF on the increased risk of ICH was partly attributable to the adjusted anticoagulation status and more retrieval attempts. It is crucial to elaborately prevent ICH after thrombectomy for stroke patients with AF.
