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

backgroundTrousseau sign was the first demonstration of a close relationship between cancer and thrombosis. Currently, venous thromboembolism (VTE) is five to six times more likely to occur in cancer patients, whereas there is a greater risk of cancer diagnoses following thromboses. In considering novel players, factor VIII (FVIII), an essential coagulation cofactor with emerging extracoagulative functions, has been identified as an independent VTE risk factor in cancer; however, the basis of this increase is unknown.

objectiveTo investigate the possible direct expression and secretion of FVIII by cancer cells.

methodsBladder cancer, with a high VTE risk, and normal bladder tissue and epithelium, were used to investigate FVIII. Factor VIII protein and secretion were examined in bladder cancer cell lines. Expanding to other cancers, the Cancer Cell line Encyclopedia database was used to analyze FVIII, tissue factor, FV, FVII, FIX, FX, and von Willebrand factor (VWF) mRNA in 811 cell lines subdivided according to origin. Factor VIII protein synthesis, secretion, and bioactivity were investigated in a profile of cancer cell lines of differing origins. RESULTS AND

conclusionsAlthough expressed in the normal bladder epithelium, FVIII mRNA and protein were higher in matched bladder neoplasms, with synthesis and secretion of bioactive FVIII evident in bladder cancer cells. This can be extended to other cancer cell lines, with a pattern reflecting the tumor origin, and that is independent of VWF and other relevant players in the coagulation cascade. Here, evidence is provided of a possible independent role for FVIII in cancer-related pathophysiology.
