Article in Indian journal of gastroenterology : official journal of the Indian Society of Gastroenterology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04267406 (Investigation of Changes in ADAMTS-13 and Von Willebrand Factor Levels and Activities in Children With Cirrhosis and/or Portal Hypertension), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract

backgroundWe have reported A disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) deficiency in noncirrhotic intrahepatic portal hypertension (NCIPH) patients of European origin with preserved liver function. We aimed to study ADAMTS13-von Willebrand factor (vWF) imbalance in Indian patients with NCIPH.

methodsTwenty-nine cases with NCIPH [22 males; 29 years (13-58); Child's A, 23; B, 6], 22 disease controls with cryptogenic chronic liver disease [15 males; 46 years (18-74); Child's A, 9; B, 9; C, 4] and 17 healthy controls [14 males; 32 years (27-45)] were enrolled in the study. We measured ADAMTS13 antigen and activity (by collagen binding assay (CBA) and by fluorescence resonance energy transfer [FRET] assay), and vWF antigen levels in plasma of study patients.

resultsADAMTS13 activity by CBA in NCIPH patients (32 %, 5 % to 100 %; median, range; p-value <0.001) and disease controls (36 %, 5 % to 144 %; p = 0.001) was significantly lower than in healthy controls (87 %; 60 % to 148 %). ADAMTS13 antigen and activity by FRET assay were also lower in cases and disease controls. ADAMTS13 activity (by CBA) to antigen ratio was lower in NCIPH and disease controls than in healthy controls. Of 29 NCIPH patients, 3 (all in Child's A) had severe ADAMTS13 deficiency (<10 % ADAMTS13 activity), and 8 (Child's A, 7; B, 1) had moderate ADAMTS13 deficiency (10 % to 25 % activity). Conversely, vWF antigen and vWF:ADAMTS13 ratio were higher in patients with NCIPH and in disease controls than in healthy controls.

conclusionsThis study validates the finding of ADAMTS13 deficiency in NCIPH despite preserved liver functions in an Indian population suggesting its involvement in pathogenesis of NCIPH.
