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

Studies on the association between microparticle expressing tissue factor (MP-TF) activity, FVIII activity ( FVIII: C) and recurrent VTE yielded inconclusive results. We studied these associations in patients diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma levels of MP-TF and FVIII activity were measured in 277 patients with a first and 72 patients with a recurrent VTE. All patients were categorized based on the quintiles of MP-TF and FVIII activity in those with a single VTE. For both markers, odds ratios (ORs) for recurrent VTE were computed using patients in the lowest quintile as a reference group. No association was observed between MP-TF activity and recurrent VTE, with an OR of 1.4 (95 % CI 0.7-2.9) in the highest quintile of MP-TF activity. Compared with the reference group, patients in the highest quintile of FVIII: C were at increased risk of recurrent VTE, OR 4.2 (95 % CI 1.4-12.2). MP-TF activity was not associated with recurrent VTE whereas high FVIII: C levels were associated with a 4-fold increased risk of VTE recurrence. Future prospective studies are necessary to explore the potential of FVIII: C as a tool for risk stratification, either by itself or in combination with other pro-thrombotic markers.
