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 increasingly high incidence of ischemic stroke caused by thrombosis of the arterial vessels is one of the major factors that threaten people's health and lives in the world. The present treatments for thrombosis are unsatisfactory yet. We developed the microbubbles loading tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and their in vitro thrombolysis efficacy under ultrasound exposure has been proved previously. We tried to investigate their thrombolysis effect in vivo in this present study. Thrombus model was made by clamping bilateral femoral arteries in 70 arteries of 40 rabbits. The targeted tPA-loaded microbubbles were made by lyophilization, taking arginine-glycine-aspartic acid-serine peptide as the targeting ligand. Its thrombolysis efficacy, calculated as count rate and efficiency rate of recanalization, was evaluated by Pearson's χ(2) and One-way ANOVA, respectively. The count rate of recanalization of the targeted tPA-loaded microbubbles under ultrasound exposure (70%) was similar to that of the combination of tPA, microbubbles and ultrasound exposure (80%) (P = 0.61), while its tPA dosage (0.06 mg/kg) was much less than that of latter (0.9 mg/kg). Its efficiency rate of recanalization was the highest among all groups (53.22 ± 40.39%) (P < 0.01). Ultrasound-induced targeted tPA-loaded microbubbles release is a promising thrombolytic method with satisfactory thrombolytic efficacy, lowered tPA dose and potentially decreased hemorrhagic risk.
