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 the expression of urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA), and plasminogen-activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1) using venous thrombi developed by ligation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in mice. The uPA-, tPA- and PAI-1-positive cells could be firstly detected 5, 7, and 3 days, respectively, after IVC ligation. Morphometrically, the number of PAI-1-positive cells was significantly higher than those of uPA- and tPA-positive cells at later than 7 days. In all of the thrombus samples aged 10-21 days, the uPA/PAI-1 and tPA/PAI-1 ratios were >0.1 and >0.2, respectively. In contrast, all of the thrombus samples aged 1-7 days had uPA/PAI-1 of <0.1 and tPA/PAI-1 ratios of <0.2. These findings implied that uPA/PAI-1 of >0.1 and tPA/PAI-1 of >0.2 indicated an age of 10 days or more. Moreover, in four of five samples aged 10 days, uPA/PAI-1 ratios were <0.3, and the remaining one had uPA/PAI-1 of 0.32. All thrombi aged 14-21 days showed values greater than 0.3. Thus, uPA/PAI-1 ratios, markedly exceeding 0.3, strongly indicated an age of more than 14 days. The present study demonstrated that the immunohistochemical detection of uPA, tPA, and PAI-1 was suitable to estimate the age of venous thrombi.
