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

backgroundThe history of intracranial hemorrhage (ICrH) is considered a contraindication for intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Objective: This study aimed at comparing the safety of IVT among patients with and without a history of ICrH.

methodsWe performed a systematic review of the literature. Data regarding all AIS patients with prior ICrH who received IVT were retrieved. Meta-analysis was performed to compare the rate of symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (sHT), death within 90 days, and favorable and unfavorable 90-day functional outcomes based on modified Rankin Scale (mRS) among stroke patients with and without prior ICrH.

resultsOut of 13,032 reviewed records, 7 studies were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Quantitative synthesis of data regarding the rate of sHT (5068 patients) revealed no significant difference between the two groups [odds ratio, OR: 1.55 (0.77, 3.12);

conclusionThe results of this study indicated that prior history of ICrH does not increase the risk of sHT post-IVT, but it is associated with a higher risk of death and poor functional outcomes in 90 days.
