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

backgroundWe aimed to investigate the phenomenon of thrombolysis resistance in tenecteplase and its underlying causes and evaluate whether DNase-1 (deoxyribonuclease I) targeting neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) could enhance the thrombolytic efficiency of tenecteplase.

methodsFresh thrombi were retrieved from 25 patients with acute ischemic stroke via endovascular thrombectomy, and 50 artificial blood clots were generated by recalcifying whole blood from healthy donors for ex vivo thrombolysis experiments by tenecteplase±DNase-1. Fibrinolytic resistance was analyzed via histology and scanning electron microscope. Thrombolytic rates were calculated. NETs were observed with immunofluorescence colocalization of NET markers. In vivo experiment was performed in mice with photothrombotic stroke, to evaluate the effects of tenecteplase+DNase-1 versus tenecteplase on cerebral blood flow, infarct volume, and neurological deficits.

resultsThe NET-rich outer shell remained after tenecteplase thrombolysis in thrombi and blood clots. Additive DNase-1 enhanced the thrombolytic efficiency of tenecteplase, resulting in faster thrombolytic rates and lower weights of thrombus (31% versus 48%;

conclusionsThe shell structure of a thrombus, particularly the NETs, may play an important role in fibrinolytic resistance to tenecteplase. Additive DNase-1 may enhance the thrombolytic efficiency of tenecteplase.
