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

backgroundAcute ischemic stroke (AIS) has become the major reason of causing death around the world. As a newer generation fibrinolytic agent, the potential of tenecteplase in treating AIS has been determined in clinical studies and meta-analysis. However, various doses have been prescribed for tenecteplase in clinical practice, and the optimal dose is not yet clear.

methodsWe will perform a systematic search to capture all potential randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of persons with confirmed AIS who were instructed to administer tenecteplase that report at least one outcome in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library. Two reviewers will independently check the titles, abstracts, and full-texts, extracting data, assessing the risk of bias and evaluating the certainty of evidence. We will use a random-effect model based on the Bayesian framework to completely direct and network meta-analyses. We will also test the robustness of all pooled results through conducting subgroup analyses according to the following criteria: DISCUSSION:: Our systematic review and network meta-analysis will generate several valuable findings and have several strengths including:We therefore believe that findings from this network meta-analysis will benefit future study design and improve evidence-based treatment of AIS. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: We will disseminate the results from the present study through submitting it to conferences or peer-reviewed journal. PROTOCOL REGISTRY: The protocol of our systematic review and network meta-analysis was registered in International Plateform of Registered Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols (INPLASY) platform with an approval number of INPLASY2020100086 (https://inplasy.com/inplasy-2020-10-0086/). Moreover, this protocol was funded through a protocol registry.
