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

Tissue factor is a cell surface glycoprotein responsible for initiating the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. Many tumor cell homogenates and intact tumor cells have been shown to contain tissue factor activity. Immunohistochemical studies show that many tumors associated with Trousseau's syndrome express tissue factor on their cell surfaces. Tumor cells shed membrane fragments which carry tissue factor that can account for the activation of the clotting system. Tumor cells also produce soluble substances that can induce tissue factor expression on host cells, such as endothelium and monocytes, at sites distant from the tumor. Although, all the functional TF molecules are localized on the outer cell membrane in many tumor cells, the procoagulant activity on the intact cell surface is largely dormant and can be greatly enhanced upon cell injury or damage. Tissue factor procoagulant activity on the cell surface can be modulated by alterations in the plasma membrane without loss of cell viability. Tissue factor activity on cell surfaces is largely regulated by a plasma inhibitor, tissue factor pathway inhibitor. This inhibitor binds to both functional and non-functional tissue factor/VIIa complexes on the cell surface and prevents non-functional tissue factor/VIIa complexes from becoming functional after cell injury or lysis. Heparin, but not warfarin, therapy is effective in preventing the occurrence of devastating thrombotic events in patients with Trousseau's syndrome and the reason(s) for this are still unknown.
