Fig. 2From: Futile reperfusion and predicted therapeutic benefits after successful endovascular treatment according to initial stroke severityThe predicted therapeutic benefits according to each of 4 initial NIHSS categories. The therapeutic benefits according to NIHSS of the successful EVT group (including only TICI grade 2b to 3, a) and of the whole EVT group (regardless of reperfusion status, b) show increasing patterns as increasing NIHSS.
