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

objectiveTo evaluate the safety of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) patients with prior antiplatelet therapy.

methodsFour hundred and forty nine patients with acute ischemic stroke aged (66.8 ± 12.9) years, including 298 males and 151 females, underwent susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) examination and MRI-guided IVT therapy between June 2009 and June 2015. The presence of CMBs, previous antiplatelet therapy, HT subtypes according to ECASS II criteria and functional outcome based on modified Rankin scale (mRS) at 3 months were analyzed in logistic regression model.

resultsTotal 934 CMBs were detected in 172 (38.3%) patients, among whom 63 (14.0%) previously received antiplatelet therapy. All patients received intravenous recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator (rt-PA) for thrombolysis with the onset-to needle time of (229.0 ± 103.7) min. The pretreatment National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 10 (IQR 5-15). Logistic regression analysis indicated that prior antiplatelet use increased neither risk of parenchymal hematoma (PH) (OR=0.809,95% CI:0.201-3.262, P=0.766) nor adverse functional outcome (OR=1.517, 95% CI:0.504-4.568, P=0.459) in patients with CMBs; while in patients with multiple CMBs (≥ 3) prior antiplatelet use increased risk of hemorrhagic transformation (OR=9.737, 95% CI: 1.364-69.494, P=0.023), but not adverse functional outcome (OR=1.697, 95% CI:0.275-10.487, P=0.569).

conclusionThe study indicates that in patients with CMBs, thrombolytic therapy should not be excluded due to the prior use of antiplatelet; however, the larger prospective studies are needed in future for patients with multiple CMBs.
