Multimodal computed tomography-guided intravenous rtPA for aborted stroke in a HIV-infected young man: a case report.
Article in BMC infectious diseases, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has been recognized as a risk factor for both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke among young adults. However, information on the optimal management of HIV patients presenting with presumed acute ischemic stroke within the time window of intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV-rtPA) thrombolysis is limited. To the best of our knowledge, the use of multimodal computed tomography (CT)-based imaging to guide acute-phase treatment for patients with HIV infection has never been reported. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the clinical, imaging, and immunological features of a young man suffering from presumed acute ischemic stroke, initially without awareness of the presence of HIV infection. IV-rtPA guided by multimodal CT, including brain CT angiography (CTA) and CT perfusion (CTP), was administered at the emergency department. His symptoms were relieved, and there was no recurrence during the 2-month follow up.
conclusionsMutimodal CT is a valuable and promising tool for the early management of HIV-infected patients, especially for those presenting within the strict thrombolysis time window.
