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

Background: Low plasma levels of protein C or protein S are associated with venous thromboembolism rather than myocardial infarction. The high coagulant activity in patients with thrombophilia with a (familial) defect in protein C or S is explained by defective protein C activation, involving thrombomodulin and protein S. This causes increased plasmatic thrombin generation. Objective: Assess the role of platelets in the thrombus- and fibrin-forming potential in patients with familial protein C or protein S deficiency under high-shear flow conditions. Patients/Methods: Whole blood from 23 patients and 15 control subjects was perfused over six glycoprotein VI-dependent microspot surfaces. By real-time multicolor microscopic imaging, kinetics of platelet thrombus and fibrin formation were characterized in 49 parameters. Results and Conclusion: Whole-blood flow perfusion over collagen, collagen-like peptide, and fibrin surfaces with low or high GPVI dependency indicated an unexpected impairment of platelet activation, thrombus phenotype, and fibrin formation but unchanged platelet adhesion, observed in patients with protein C deficiency and to a lesser extent protein S deficiency, when compared to controls. The defect extended from diminished phosphatidylserine exposure and thrombus contraction to delayed and suppressed fibrin formation. The mechanism was thrombomodulin independent, and may involve negative platelet priming by plasma components.
