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

objectiveBacterial DNA (CpG DNA) persists in tissues and blood under pathological conditions that are associated with enhanced intravascular coagulation. Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes CpG DNA and elicits innate and adoptive immunity, yet the impact of CpG DNA on coagulation has not been studied. In this study, we investigated the effects of CpG DNA on the expression and activity of tissue factor, a key initiator of coagulation and tissue factor pathway inhibitor in human coronary artery endothelial cells and on coagulation in mice.

designControlled in vitro and in vivo studies.

settingUniversity research laboratory. SUBJECTS: Cultured human coronary artery endothelial cell, wild-type mice, and TLR9-deficient mice.

interventionsHuman coronary artery endothelial cell was challenged with CpG DNA, and tissue factor and tissue factor pathway inhibitor expression and activity were assessed. In mice, the effects of CpG DNA on bleeding time and plasma levels of thrombin-antithrombin complexes and tissue factor were measured. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

resultsWe found that CpG DNA, but not eukaryotic DNA, evoked marked nuclear factor-κB-mediated increases in tissue factor expression at both messenger RNA and protein levels, as well as in tissue factor activity. Conversely, CpG DNA significantly reduced tissue factor pathway inhibitor transcription, secretion, and activity. Inhibition of Toll-like receptor 9 with a telomere-derived Toll-like receptor 9 inhibitory oligonucleotide or transient Toll-like receptor 9 knockdown with small interfering RNA attenuated human coronary artery endothelial cell responses to CpG DNA. In wild-type mice, CpG DNA shortened the bleeding time parallel with dramatic increases in plasma thrombin-antithrombin complex and tissue factor levels. Pretreatment with inhibitory oligonucleotide or anti-tissue factor antibody or genetic deletion of TLR9 prevented these changes, whereas depleting monocytes with clodronate resulted in a modest partial inhibition.

conclusionsOur findings demonstrate that bacterial DNA through Toll-like receptor 9 shifted the balance of tissue factor and tissue factor pathway inhibitor toward procoagulant phenotype in human coronary artery endothelial cells and activated blood coagulation in mice. Our study identifies Toll-like receptor 9 inhibitory oligonucleotides as potential therapeutic agents for the prevention of coagulation in pathologies where bacterial DNA may abundantly be present.
