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

In patients with ischemic stroke who receive systemic recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), the risk of secondary hemorrhage is 1-7%. Fibrinogen supplementation with cryoprecipitate is recommended in patients with rt-PA-associated symptomatic hemorrhage. We examined whether fibrinogen concentrate can be used safely in this setting. A single-center retrospective case series was performed in patients who received fibrinogen concentrate for post-rt-PA hemorrhage between January-2012 and December-2017. The primary outcome was the incidence of in-hospital thromboembolic events and infusion reactions. Secondary outcomes included incidence of clinically significant ICH expansion within 24-hours and patient serum fibrinogen response to fibrinogen concentrate therapy. Thromboembolic events occurred in 3 (12.5%) of 24 patients included in the analysis. No patients experienced infusion-related reactions. Five of 22 patients with ICH experienced clinically significant hemorrhage expansion. Hypofibrinogenemia was corrected in 87.5%(7/8) of patients with baseline hypofibrinogenemia, with a median increase in serum fibrinogen 166 mg/dL. Median fibrinogen increase in patients without baseline hypofibrinogenemia was 18 mg/dL. Fibrinogen concentrate is a safe potential therapeutic option to restore fibrinogen levels in acute ischemic stroke patients with thrombolysis-associated hemorrhage.
