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

The protein C (PC) pathway is an important anticoagulant mechanism that prevents thrombosis during the systemic inflammatory response. Thrombomodulin (TM), an endothelial cell membrane receptor, accelerates the conversion of PC to activated protein C (APC), which leads to the down-regulation of thrombin production and fibrin formation. Induction of acute endotoxemia in young and aged mice with a low dose of bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 2.5 mg/kg) caused a high mortality rate in aged (80%) but not young (0%) mice. After injection with this dose of LPS, fibrin formation was significantly elevated only in aged mice, plasma APC levels were increased only in young mice, and TM expression was profoundly depressed in the aged. The increased thrombosis, suppressed APC level, and decreased TM expression were not observed in young mice receiving a higher dose of LPS (20 mg/kg), which resulted in a mortality rate (78%) equivalent to that seen in aged mice with the low-dose LPS. Mutant mice with reduced TM showed significantly less plasma APC and increased fibrin formation compared with wild-type mice after LPS. These results demonstrate that PC pathway activation is suppressed with aging and is partly responsible for age-associated thrombosis and high mortality during endotoxemia.
