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

introductionDysfunction of indwelling central venous catheters (CVC) due to tissue ingrowth or clotting is common. The study objective was to determine if the oral anticoagulant rivaroxaban (RIVA) improved CVC patency and inflammation in mice. MATERIALS AND

methodsPolyurethane catheters (0.5cm length) were placed unilaterally into the external jugular vein (EJV) of mice, which subsequently underwent daily gavage with either vehicle or RIVA (5mg/kg). CVC patency, as assessed by B-mode and Doppler ultrasound, and hematocrit were measured at 3, 7, 14 or 21days (n=8-11 mice/group/time-point). Plasma monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) levels were assessed by ELISA, EJV matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) levels by western immunoblotting, and cell proliferation (anti-Ki67), macrophage infiltration (anti-MAC387) by immunostaining of EJV tissues. RESULTS AND

conclusionsCVC patency was significantly improved in RIVA-treated mice compared to vehicle-treated (93.8% vs. 62.9%) with the probability of patency in RIVA-treated mice being 1.5 times that in vehicle-treated (relative risk [RR], 1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-1.95, p=0.002). Plasma MCP-1 levels were lower in RIVA-treated mice vs. vehicle-treated at 21days (389±260 vs. 804±292ng/mL, p=0.005). Cell proliferation was less at day 7 in EJV from the RIVA-treated mice than vehicle-treated (5.0%±3.0 vs. 11.5%±3.6, p=0.0006), as were MMP-9 protein levels. There were no differences in hematocrit between vehicle and RIVA-treated groups at any time point. In conclusion, these data indicate RIVA lowers inflammation and improves CVC patency in a mouse model, supporting future studies to assess RIVA for improving CVC patency in patients.
