Intravenous thrombolysis for stroke in pregnancy should be administered if the benefit outweighs the risk: A case report and recommended diagnostic workup.

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
introductionThere is an ongoing debate about the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator in acute stroke during pregnancy. The aim of our case report is to present that even in a small stroke centre intravenous thrombolysis can be used on a pregnant woman if the benefit outweighs the risk and to summarize the diagnostic workup in a pregnant woman with stroke. CASE REPORT: Our case describes a 31-year-old woman presenting in her third trimester with a sudden onset of slurred speech, severe right hemiparesis, facial nerve central palsy, eyes deviation to the left, right side hemianopia, hemisensory loss, psychomotor agitation and pain in the right lower limb. She was successfully treated with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator with almost complete recovery (NIHSS 1 after 10 days), and 23 days after intravenous thrombolysis, she delivered in the 37th week a healthy male infant. The first documented successful outcome from thrombolysis for this condition in Slovakia supports the notion of giving intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator to pregnant patients with disabling ischaemic stroke who meet the criteria for thrombolysis. DISCUSSION: At the end of case study, a recommended diagnostic workup for acute treatment of stroke in pregnant women is presented.
