Time to Thrombolysis and Outcomes in Patients with Left-sided Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis: Is Thrombolysis Worth Beyond 7 Days?

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
Background: The study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome and complications after thrombolysis in patients with left-sided prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) in relation to the time of onset of symptoms. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, observational, single-center study carried out from January 2020 to June 2022 at a tertiary care center in India. A total of 50 patients with PVT were included in the study. Patients underwent thrombolysis either with streptokinase or tenecteplase as per their individual clinical status. Clinical profile and treatment outcomes were assessed. Results: PVT was more in females (64%) as compared to males (36%). The majority of the patients were in the age group of 31-40 years (38%) with a mean age of presentation being 32.7 years. Majority of the patients (39 patients) had symptom onset between 0 and 7 days (78%) while 11 patients (22%) presented beyond 7 days. Streptokinase was used for thrombolysis in 37 patients while Tenecteplase was used in 13 patients. In our study, majority of the patients 30 (60%) had a complete response to thrombolysis while 10 (20%) patients had a partial response, and no response to thrombolysis was seen in 10 (20%) patients. Hemorrhagic stroke was seen in 4 (8%) patients. Among 6 deaths, 3 were due to hemorrhagic stroke and 3 were due to cardiogenic shock. Conclusions: Early thrombolysis within 7 days of symptom onset provides a good response to thrombolysis after which the response to thrombolysis is more likely to be suboptimal.
