Evaluation of thrombolysis by using ultrasonic imaging: an in vitro study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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.
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 hematocrit of a thrombus is a key factor associated with the susceptibility to thrombolysis. Ultrasonic imaging is currently the first-line screening tool for thrombus examinations. Different hematocrits result in different acoustical structures of thrombi, which alter the behavior of ultrasonic backscattering. This study explored the relationships among thrombolytic efficiencies, hematocrits, and ultrasonic parameters (the echo intensity and backscattered statistics). Porcine thrombi with different hematocrits, ranging from 0% to 50%, were induced in vitro. An ultrasonic scanner was used to scan thrombi and acquire raw image data for B-mode (echo intensity measurements) and Nakagami imaging (backscattered statistics analysis). Experiments on thrombolysis were performed using urokinase to explore the effect of the hematocrit on thrombolytic efficiency. Results showed that the weight loss ratio of thrombi exponentially decreased as the hematocrit increased from 0% to 50%. Compared with the echo intensity obtained from the conventional B-scan, the Nakagami parameter predicts the weight loss ratio, increasing from 0.6 to 1.2 as the weight loss ratio decreased from 0.67 to 0.26. The current findings suggest that using Nakagami imaging characterizing thrombi provides information of backscattered statistics, which may be associated with the thrombolytic efficiency.
