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

A bioengineered version of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator, i.e., tenecteplase (TNK-tPA), was designed to have a longer half-life, resistance to plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, and fibrin-targeted plasminogen activation. By comparison to tPA, clinical trials suggest that TNK-tPA may be less susceptible to the effects of alpha2-antiplasmin (α2AP), the primary inhibitor of thrombus dissolution. However, preclinical studies are limited, and whether α2AP affects TNK-tPA's fibrinolytic activity or efficacy in experimental ischemic stroke is unknown. We examined the effects of TNK-tPA and α2AP on the dissolution of human plasma clots (in vitro) and experimental ischemic brain injury from stroke induced by transient middle cerebral artery ischemia. TNK-tPA induced a dose-dependent increase in plasma clot dissolution; inhibition of α2AP with a specific monoclonal antibody caused a synergistic increase in TNK-tPA-mediated clot dissolution. In experimental ischemic stroke with ischemia and reperfusion, TNK-tPA treatment of α2AP
