Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta Analyses (PRISMA) review for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) publications from low income countries and low-middle income countries. Flow diagram illustrates the screening and identification of study articles and abstracts. *PubMed and Embase databases.

Meta-analysis of Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) grade 2b or 3 recanalization rates. Plots weighted for sample size show the rates of TICI 2b or 3 recanalization after thrombectomy. The article written by Mesiano et al (Cerebrovasc Dis Extra 2021; 11(2)72–76; reference 18) was separated into 2 studies because it described two distinct thrombectomy populations (one receiving intravenous thrombolysis [IVT] and MT and another receiving MT alone). CI, confidence interval.

Meta-analysis of complication rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Plots weighted for sample size show rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage as a complication post-stroke ranging from 2 to 19%. CI, confidence interval.

Meta-analysis of rates of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0 to 2 outcomes at 90 days. Plots weighted for sample size show rates of mRS 0 to 2 outcomes at 90 days post-stroke ranging from 16 to 71%. CI, confidence interval.

Meta-analysis of 90-day mortality rates post-stroke. Plots weighted for sample size show the mortality rates at 90 days post-stroke ranging from 8 to 24%. CI, confidence interval.
