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 intrathrombotic IL-6 expression using a murine model of deep vein thrombosis induced by the ligation of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and discussed the availability of intrathrombotic IL-6 for thrombus age estimation. IL-6(+) cells could be first detected at 1 day after IVC ligation in three of five samples, and all samples with postligation intervals of 3 days or more had intrathrombotic IL-6(+) cells. Thereafter, the numbers of IL-6(+) cells were elevated with the increase of postligation intervals. Double-color immunofluorescence analyses demonstrated that IL-6 was mainly expressed by intrathrombotic macrophages. In all samples with postligation intervals of 5 days or less, the IL-6/macrophage ratio (IL-6/Mϕ) was <0.5. In contrast, the IL-6/Mϕ was greater than 0.5 at ≥7 days after the IVC ligation. These observations implied that IL-6/Mϕ ratios of >0.5 would strongly indicate thrombus ages of ≥7 days. Reciprocally, the ratios of less than 0.5 would suggest thrombus ages of ≤5 days. The present study demonstrated that the immunohistochemical detection of IL-6 was suitable to estimate the age of venous thrombi.
