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

The objective of this work was to develop a high throughput assay for testing in vitro the thrombolytic activity using citrated whole blood samples, and to overcome the limitations of currently available techniques. We successfully developed a method that involves forming halo shaped, tissue factor induced, whole blood clots in 96 well plates, and then precisely measuring the thrombolysis process with a spectrophotometer plate reader. We here describe the implementation of this novel method, which we refer to as halo assay, and its validation with plasmin, urokinase and tissue plasminogen activator at different doses. The resulting data is a highly detailed thrombolysis profile, allowing comparison of different fibrinolytic agents. The time point analysis allows kinetic data to be collected and calculated to determine key parameters such as the activation time and the rate of fibrinolysis. We also assessed the capacity of the model to study the effect of clot maturation time on the fibrinolytic rate, an aspect of thrombosis rather unexplored with currently available methods, but of increasing importance in drug development. This novel thrombolysis assay could be an extremely useful research tool; to study the complex process of thrombolysis, and a valuable translational clinical tool; as a screening device to rapidly identify hypo- or hyper-fibrinolysis.
