Figure 2. Forest plots of CMB presence and risk of postthrombolysis symptomatic ICH.
Meta-analysis of the association between symptomatic ICH risk in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with thrombolysis, in relation to the presence of CMBs on pretreatment MRI scans. Pooled analysis results in all studies/entire study population (A) and in studies providing data on patients treated with IV thrombolysis only (B). CI = confidence interval; CMB = cerebral microbleed; ICH = intracerebral hemorrhage; OR = odds ratio.
