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

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by the presence of fibrin-rich inflammatory exudates in the intra-alveolar spaces and the extensive migration of neutrophils into alveoli of the lungs. Tissue factor (TF)-dependent procoagulant properties of bronchoalveaolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from ARDS patients favor fibrin deposition, and are likely the result of cross-talk between inflammatory mediators and hemostatic mechanisms. However, the regulation of these interactions remains elusive. Prompted by previous findings suggesting that neutrophils, under certain inflammatory conditions, can express functional TF, we investigated the contribution of intra-alveolar neutrophils to the procoagulant properties of BALF from patients with ARDS. Our results confirm that the procoagulant properties of BALF from ARDS patients are the result of TF induction, and further indicate that BALF neutrophils are a main source of TF in intra-alveolar fluid. We also found that BALF neutrophils in these patients express significantly higher levels of TF than peripheral blood neutrophils. These results suggest that the alveolar microenvironment contributes to TF induction in ARDS. Additional experiments indicated that the ability of BALF to induce TF expression in neutrophils from healthy donors can be abolished by inhibiting C5a or TNF-alpha signaling, suggesting a primary role for these inflammatory mediators in the up-regulation of TF in alveolar neutrophils in ARDS. This cross-talk between inflammatory mediators and the induction of TF expression in intra-alveolar neutrophils may be a potential target for novel therapeutic strategies to limit ARDS-associated disturbances of coagulation.
