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

A natural anticoagulant pathway denoted the protein C system provides specific and efficient control of blood coagulation. Protein C is the key component of the system and circulates in the blood as a zymogen to an anticoagulant serine protease. Activation of protein C is achieved on the surface of endothelial cells by thrombin bound to the membrane protein thrombomodulin. The endothelial protein C receptor stimulates the activation of protein C on the endothelium. Activated protein C (APC) modulates blood coagulation by cleaving a limited number of peptide bonds in factor VIIIa (FVIIIa) and factor Va (FVa), cofactors in the activation of factor X and prothrombin, respectively. Vitamin K-dependent protein S stimulates the APC-mediated regulation of coagulation. Not only is protein S involved in the degradation of FVIIIa, but so is FV, which in recent years has been found to be a Janus-faced protein with both procoagulant and anticoagulant potentials. A number of genetic defects affecting the anticoagulant function of the protein C system, eg, APC resistance (Arg506Gln or FV Leiden) and deficiencies of protein C and protein S constitute major risk factors of venous thrombosis. The protein C system also has anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic potentials, the molecular mechanisms of which are beginning to be unraveled. APC has emerged in recent years as a useful therapeutic compound in the treatment of severe septic shock. The beneficial effect of APC is believed be due to both its anticoagulant and its anti-inflammatory properties.
