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

We immunohistochemically examined neutrophils and macrophages in venous thrombi, which developed in the ligation of the inferior vena cava (IVC). Myeloperoxidase (MPO)-positive neutrophils and F4/80-positive macrophages were detected in the whole course of thrombi after IVC ligation. Morphometrically, the number of neutrophils was greatest at 1 day after IVC ligation and, thereafter, gradually decreased with an increase of the post-ligation interval. In contrast, the number of macrophages peaked at 7 days after ligation. The number of intrathrombus neutrophils was significantly higher than that of intrathrombus macrophages at 1 and 3 days, and the average ratios of neutrophils to macrophages (N/M ratios) were 6.8 +/- 1.1 (4.8-9.0) and 2.5 +/- 0.4 (1.7-4.2) at 1 and 3 days, respectively. After more than 5 days, all samples had N/M ratios of <2.0 (0.2-1.4). These observations suggest that an N/M ratio of >2.0 indicates a thrombus age of 1-3 days. To differentiate between 1- and 3-day-old thrombi, an N/M ratio markedly exceeding 5.0 strongly indicates an age of 1 day. Furthermore, an N/M ratio of 1.0 or less probably indicates an age of more than 5 days. The present study demonstrated that the immunohistochemical detection of intrathrombus neutrophils and macrophages was suitable to determine the age of venous thrombi.
