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

Tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) is the primary inhibitor of the extrinsic coagulation cascade, and its expression is reported to be relatively stable. Various pathophysiologic agents have been shown to influence TFPI activity by regulating its expression or by modifying the protein. It is not clear how TFPI activity is regulated in normal physiology or in injury. Because thrombin and TFPI are locally elaborated in pleural injury, we sought to determine if thrombin could regulate TFPI in human pleural mesothelial cells (HPMCs). Thrombin significantly decreased TFPI mRNA and protein levels by > 70%. Thrombin-mediated down-regulation of TFPI promoted factor X activation by HPMCs. The ability of thrombin to significantly decrease TFPI mRNA and protein levels was maintained at nanomolar concentrations. Protease-activated receptor (PAR)-1, a mediator of thrombin signaling, is detectable in the mesothelium in human and murine pleural injury. PAR-1 silencing blocked thrombin-mediated decrements of TFPI in HPMCs. Thrombin activates PI3K/Akt and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling in HPMCs. Inhibition of PI3K (by PX-866) and NF-κB (by SN50) prevented thrombin-mediated TFPI mRNA and protein down-regulation. These are the first studies to demonstrate that thrombin decreases TFPI expression in HPMCs. Our findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which thrombin regulates TFPI expression in HPMCs and promotes an unrestricted procoagulant response, and suggest that interactions between PI3K and NF-κB signaling pathways are linked in HPMCs and control TFPI expression. These findings raise the possibility that targeting this pathway could limit the ability of the mesothelium to support extravascular fibrin deposition and organization associated with pleural injury.
