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

introductionData on safety of endovascular therapy (EVT) in the very elderly are scarce. Using data from a large prospective EVT registry, we aimed at providing better evidence for EVT decision-making in patients aged 90 years and older. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this multicentre observational study from the EVA-TRISP collaboration outcomes were compared between patients aged ⩾90 years with those aged <90 years using multivariate logistic regression analysis and reporting odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. Outcomes were occurrence of poor functional outcome in survivors (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 3-5 if pre-stroke mRS 0-2 and mRS higher than pre-stroke mRS if pre-stroke mRS 3-5), mortality at 3 months after stroke, unsuccessful recanalization (mTICI 0-2a) and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH, defined by ECASS-II-/III-criteria).

resultsOf 13,306 eligible patients, 892 were ⩾90 years old (6.7%). The very elderly had a higher median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission (16 vs 14) and were more likely to have a pre-stroke mRS of 3-5 (38.0% vs 8.7%). The odds of poor functional outcome (OR DISCUSSION AND

conclusionEVT-treated stroke patients ⩾90 years had higher odds of poor functional outcome, mortality and unsuccessful recanalization than younger patients. However, the probability of sICH after EVT was not increased. The decision in favor of or against EVT in the very elderly should not be based on age alone.
