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 serine protease inhibitor antithrombin III (AT-III), an α2-globulin synthesized in the liver and endothelial cells, is the principal in vivo inhibitor of blood coagulation inactivating mainly thrombin. AT-III deficiency presents a rare hereditary or acquired disorder that most often comes to light when a patient suffers recurrent venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Triggers for the onset of the thrombosis include various mechanisms such as pregnancy, delivery, surgery, trauma, and contraceptive pill use. Decreased response to heparin may be the first sign of AT-III deficiency. Since heparin is a conditio sine qua non for cardiopulmonary bypass, rapid consumption of AT-III promoted by heparin may lead to systemic thrombosis. The effect of heparin on graft patency after CABG in patients with AT-III deficiency, particularly with respect to early graft thrombosis, has not been fully investigated. The early detection and timely treatment of this disorder may impact perioperative morbidity. We present a case of simultaneous thrombosis of three venous grafts after elective coronary artery bypass surgery in a patient with AT-III deficiency.
