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

Current conventional thrombolytic drugs have some limitations, including a short half-life, several adverse effects, low fibrin specificity, and high cost. Therefore, new thrombolytic sources have been widely investigated worldwide. In this sense, this work aims to evaluate the state of the art of the thrombolytic potential of different bioactive compounds produced from microalgae and cyanobacteria. Then, a systematic literature search was conducted using ScienceDirect, Medline (PubMed), Springer Link, Wiley Online Library, Scielo, MDPI, and BVS electronic databases to select original studies about thrombolytic agents obtained from microalgae and cyanobacteria. After the selection process, 20 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the final analysis. Most studies showed promising thrombolytic activity of polysaccharides or proteins produced by cyanobacteria and obtained through homogenization methods. Moreover, the majority of the studies used methods such as activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time, thrombin time, or platelet aggregation tests as parameters to determine the thrombolytic activity. In conclusion, various bioactive compounds from microalgae and cyanobacteria showed high potential to act as alternative thrombolytic therapy, but some characteristics such as mechanism of action, cytotoxicity, immunogenicity and stability parameters need to be more exploited to make the application of these agents feasible in the future.
