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

Acute ischemic stroke represents a critical, life-threatening condition affecting the central nervous system. Intravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) remains a cornerstone for achieving vascular recanalization in such patients; however, its therapeutic utility is limited, with only approximately 10% of patients benefiting due to the narrow therapeutic window and significant risk of hemorrhagic transformation. Enhancing the efficacy of tPA thrombolysis is therefore imperative. Neutrophils have been identified as key modulators of thrombolytic outcomes, interacting with tPA post-stroke to influence treatment effectiveness. The binding of tPA to low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP-1) on neutrophil surfaces induces degranulation and formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Conversely, neutrophils impede the thrombolytic action of tPA by obstructing its interaction with fibrin and activating platelets. These findings suggest that targeting neutrophils may hold promise for improving thrombolysis outcomes. This review explores the role of neutrophils in tPA-mediated thrombolysis following acute ischemic stroke, examines neutrophil-associated biomarkers, and outlines potential strategies for enhancing tPA efficacy.
