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

backgroundThe risk of thrombotic complications such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) during tumor development is well known. Tumors release into the circulation procoagulant microparticles (MPs) that can participate in thrombus formation following vessel injury. The importance of this MP tissue factor (TF) in the initiation of cancer-associated DVT remains uncertain.

objectiveTo investigate how pancreatic cancer MPs promote DVT in vivo.

methodsWe combined a DVT mouse model in which thrombosis is induced by flow restriction in the inferior vena cava with one of subcutaneous pancreatic cancer in C57BL/6J mice. We infused high-TF and low-TF tumor MPs to determine the importance of TF in experimental cancer-associated DVT.

resultsBoth tumor-bearing mice and mice infused with tumor MPs subjected to 3 h of partial flow restriction developed an occlusive thrombus; fewer than one-third of the control mice did. We observed that MPs adhered to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), which are functionally important players during DVT, whereas neither P-selectin nor glycoprotein Ib were required for MP recruitment in DVT. The thrombotic phenotype induced by MP infusion was suppressed by hirudin, suggesting the importance of thrombin generation. TF carried by tumor MPs was essential to promote DVT, as mice infused with low-TF tumor MPs had less thrombosis than mice infused with high-TF tumor MPs.

conclusionsTF expressed on tumor MPs contributes to the increased incidence of cancer-associated venous thrombosis in mice in vivo. These MPs may adhere to NETs formed at the site of thrombosis.
