Metabolic syndrome is associated with prognosis in patients with acute ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis: a prospective cohort study.

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: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a known risk factor for stroke, but its impact on prognosis after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the association between MetS and prognosis in AIS patients treated with IVT. Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including AIS patients who received IVT at Shanxi Bethune Hospital between January 2022 and December 2023. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to balance baseline characteristics between MetS and non-MetS groups. The primary outcome was 3-month all-cause mortality. Secondary outcomes included good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] 0-2) and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH). Results: After PSM, 292 patients (146 pairs) were enrolled in the analysis. The all-cause mortality rate within 3 months was significantly higher in the MetS group compared to the non-MetS group (24.0% vs. 11.6%; Conclusion: MetS is an independent predictor of increased mortality, poorer functional recovery, and higher risk of SICH in AIS patients treated with IVT. Early identification and management of metabolic risk factors may improve outcomes in this population.
