Trial report in Neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT01525290 (Efficacy and Safety of MRI-based Thrombolysis in Wake-up Stroke), which is not on this map. Cited by 22 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.

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.

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND

objectivesCerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are common in patients with acute ischemic stroke and are associated with increased risk of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) after intravenous thrombolysis. Whether CMBs modify the treatment effect of thrombolysis is unknown.

methodsWe performed a prespecified analysis of the prospective randomized controlled multicenter Efficacy and Safety of MRI-Based Thrombolysis in Wake-Up Stroke (WAKE-UP) trial including patients with acute ischemic stroke with unknown time of symptom onset and diffusion-weighted imaging-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery mismatch on MRI receiving alteplase or placebo. Patients were screened and enrolled between September 2012 and June 2017 (with final follow-up in September 2017). Patients were randomized to treatment with IV thrombolysis with alteplase at 0.9 mg/kg body weight or placebo. CMB status (presence, number, and distribution) was assessed after study completion by 3 raters blinded to clinical information following a standardized protocol. Outcome measures were excellent functional outcome at 90 days, defined by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score ≤1, and symptomatic ICH according to National Institutes of Neurological Disease and Stroke trial criteria 22 to 36 hours after treatment.

resultsOf 503 patients enrolled in the WAKE-UP trial, 459 (91.3%; 288 [63%] men) were available for analysis. Ninety-eight (21.4%) had at least 1 CMB on baseline imaging; 45 (9.8%) had exactly 1 CMB; 37 (8.1%) had 2 to 4 CMBs; and 16 (3.5%) had ≥5 CMBs. Presence of CMBs was associated with a nonsignificant increased risk of symptomatic ICH (11.2% vs 4.2%; adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.32, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.99-5.43, DISCUSSION: In the randomized-controlled WAKE-UP trial, we saw no evidence of reduced treatment effect of alteplase in patients with acute ischemic stroke with ≥1 CMBs. Additional studies are needed to determine the treatment effect of alteplase and its benefit-harm ratio in patients with a larger number of CMBs. TRIAL REGISTRATION INFORMATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01525290; ClinicalTrialsRegister.EU identifier 2011-005906-32. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that for patients with acute ischemic stroke with unknown time of onset and diffusion-weighted imaging-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery mismatch who received IV alteplase, CMBs are not significantly associated with functional outcome at 90 days.
