Stratifying by Blood Glucose Levels to Predict Hemorrhagic Transformation Risk Post-Rt-PA in Acute Ischemic Stroke.

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
Objective: Stroke is a leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide, posing a significant public health challenge. While treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is effective but increases the risk of hemorrhagic transformation (HT). This study aimed to explore the determinants of HT in AIS patients treated with rt-PA and investigate the association between blood glucose levels and HT risk. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study at the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2018 to December 2021. Patients with AIS and who received rt-PA within 4.5 hours of symptom onset were included. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and imaging data were collected. Results: Of the 426 patients, 15% experienced HT post-rt-PA, occurred more frequently in patients with a history of cardiac embolism, higher prethrombolysis NIHSS scores, and elevated fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels. The frequency of HT was higher in non-diabetic patients with FBG levels ≥7.0 mmol/L compared to diabetic patients. Elevated blood glucose levels were significantly associated with HT, regardless of diabetes history. Conclusion: The findings suggest importance of precise glycemic control during AIS management to improve patient outcomes, particularly in non-diabetic patients. Future protocols for AIS treatment should incorporate these findings to reduce HT risks. Further large-scale studies are needed to confirm these associations and guide clinical practices.
