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

Oxygenators are critical components of extracorporeal circuits used frequently in cardiopulmonary bypass and intensive care, but platelet activation and induction of a complex inflammatory response are usually observed with their use. To improve the biocompatibility of oxygenators, we developed a nitric oxide (NO)-releasing, self-assembled peptide amphiphile nanomatrix. The nanomatrix formed a homogenous coating over the microporous hollow fibers as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy. We quantitated platelet adhesion to the artificial fibers by measuring absorbance/area of platelets (Abs/A; nm/m2) using acid phosphatase assay. There was a 17-fold decrease in platelet adhesion to the nanomatrix (Abs/A = 0.125) compared with collagen controls (Abs/A = 2.07; p < 0.05) and a 22-fold decrease compared with uncoated fibers (Abs/A = 2.75; p < 0.05). Importantly, the nanomatrix coating did not impede oxygen transfer in water through coated fiber modules (p > 0.05) in a benchtop test circuit at different flow rates as estimated by change in partial pressure of oxygen in relation to water velocity through fibers. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of coating microporous hollow fibers with a NO-releasing self-assembled amphiphile nanomatrix that may improve the biocompatibility of the hollow fibers without affecting their gas exchange capacity.
