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 IFNγ, TNFα, and TNF receptor p55 (TNF-Rp55) in a stasis-induced venous thrombus murine model. IFNγ(+), TNFα(+), and TNF-Rp55(+) cells could be first detected 7, 3, and 3 days after inferior vena cava (IVC) ligation. Thereafter, the numbers of these positive cells increased with time after IVC ligation. Double-color immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated that each molecule was expressed by intrathrombotic macrophages. In all samples with postligation intervals of 7 days or less, IFNγ/macrophage ratio (IFNγ/Mϕ), TNFα/macrophage ratio (TNFα/Mϕ), and TNF-Rp55/macrophage ratio (TNF-Rp55/Mϕ) were <0.2, <0.2, and <0.4, respectively. In contrast, IFNγ/Mϕ and TNFα/Mϕ were greater than 0.2 and 0.3 at ≥10 days after the IVC ligation, respectively. These observations suggested that IFNγ/Mϕ ratios of >0.2 and TNFα/Mϕ ratios of >0.3 indicated thrombus age of ≥10 days. Moreover, TNF-Rp55/Mϕ ratios of >0.7 strongly suggested thrombus age of >14 days. The present study demonstrated that the immunohistochemical detection of IFNγ, TNFα, and TNF-Rp55 was suitable to estimate the age of venous thrombi. However, the variation in TNF-Rp55/Mϕ ratios is wider than those of the other two markers. Thus, IFNγ and TNFα could be more practical markers.
