Elevated Blood Alcohol Concentration Is Associated with Improved Clinical Outcomes of Intravenous Thrombolysis Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients-A Retrospective Study.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) improves acute ischemic stroke (AIS) outcomes, but with limited success. In addition, ethanol potentiates the effect of r-tPA in ischemia models.
methodsThe effect of acute alcohol consumption on IVT outcomes was investigated in a retrospective cohort study. AIS patients with detectable blood alcohol concentration (BAC) during IVT were included (alcohol group;
resultsPatients were younger and had a less severe stroke than in a standard stroke study. Favorable long-term outcomes (mRS 0-2) occurred significantly more frequently in the alcohol group compared to controls (90% vs. 63%,
conclusionElevated BAC is associated with improved outcomes in IVT-treated AIS without affecting safety.
