Effectiveness and Limitations of Intravenous rt-PA Therapy in Patients with Mild Cerebral Infarction.
Review in Journal of atherosclerosis and thrombosis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA), specifically alteplase, remains the standard treatment for acute cerebral infarction across all stroke subtypes. However, per recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs), individuals with mild cerebral infarction, medical management alone without rt-PA can yield functional outcomes comparable to those achieved with thrombolytic therapy. This has sparked ongoing debate regarding the necessity of rt-PA administration in cases of mild stroke. Nonetheless, certain individuals with mild cerebral infarction derive clear benefits from rt-PA therapy. Therefore, an individualized treatment approach should be prioritized over a uniform thrombolytic strategy in these cases. This review examines the therapeutic efficacy and limitations of rt-PA therapy for mild cerebral infarction, integrating evidence from prior clinical studies with the authors' perspectives.
