Tenecteplase in acute ischemic stroke: an updated meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Tenecteplase (TNK) has emerged as a promising alternative to alteplase (tPA) for intravenous thrombolysis in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TNK compared with tPA. Methods: Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Central, EBSCO, and Scopus were systematically searched from inception through January 2026 to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies comparing TNK with tPA in adults with AIS. Effect estimates were pooled using fixed- or random-effects models according to the degree of heterogeneity and were reported as risk ratios (RRs), odds ratios (ORs), or mean differences (MDs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results: Twenty-four studies (6 RCTs and 18 observational studies; total Conclusion: TNK provides efficacy and safety profiles comparable to those of tPA while offering a greater likelihood of excellent functional recovery, faster treatment initiation, and lower mortality in observational studies. Further high-quality RCTs are warranted to confirm these findings. Systematic review registration: CRD420251030320.
