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 & Aims: Bacterial infections in cirrhosis are associated with increased bleeding risk. To assess the factors responsible for bleeding tendency in patients with bacterial infections, we conducted a prospective study comparing all 3 aspects of hemostasis (platelets, coagulation, and fibrinolysis) in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis with Methods: Primary hemostasis assessment included whole blood platelet aggregation and von Willebrand factor (VWF). Coagulation assessment included procoagulant factors (fibrinogen, factor II, V, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII), natural anticoagulants (protein C, protein S, antithrombin) and thrombomodulin-modified thrombin generation test. Fibrinolysis assessment included fibrinolytic factors (plasminogen, t-PA, PAI-1, α2-AP, TAFIa/ai) and plasmin-antiplasmin complex (PAP). Results: Eighty patients with decompensated cirrhosis were included (40 with and 40 without bacterial infections). Severity of cirrhosis and platelet count were comparable between groups. At baseline, patients with cirrhosis and bacterial infections had significantly lower whole blood platelet aggregation, without significant differences in VWF. Regarding coagulation, bacterial infections were associated with reduced procoagulant factors VII and XII, and a significant reduction of all natural anticoagulants. However, thrombomodulin-modified thrombin generation was comparable between the study groups. Finally, although mixed potentially hypo-fibrinolytic (lower plasminogen) and hyper-fibrinolytic (higher t-PA) changes were present in bacterial infections, a comparable level of PAP was detected in both groups. Upon resolution of infection (n = 29/40), platelet aggregation further deteriorated whereas coagulation and fibrinolysis factors returned to levels observed in patients without bacterial infections. Conclusion: In hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis, bacterial infections are associated with reduced whole blood platelet aggregation and a significant decrease of all natural anticoagulants, which may unbalance hemostasis and potentially increase the risk of both bleeding and thrombosis. Lay summary: Bacterial infections are a common issue in hospitalized patients with decompensated cirrhosis (
