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

Deficient ADAM metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) activity (ADAMTS13:AC) results in the accumulation of unusually large von Willebrand factor multimers (UL-VWFM) and causes microcirculatory disturbances and multiple organ failure, while endotoxins trigger the activation of a coagulation cascade. The objective of the present study was to explore the role of ADAMTS13 in endotoxemia in patients with acute liver failure (ALF). Plasma concentrations of endotoxin and cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, and activity of the plasma ADAMTS13 inhibitor were determined, along with ADAMTS13:AC, the VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) and UL-VWFM, in 27 patients with acute hepatitis (AH), 11 patients with ALF, and 10 healthy controls. IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations on admission were significantly higher in patients with ALF than in those with AH or in healthy controls. ADAMTS13:AC concomitantly decreased and VWF:Ag progressively increased with increasing cytokine concentrations from the normal range to >100 pg/ml. The inhibitor was detected in 8 patients with ALF (0.6 to 2.4 BU/ml) and 6 patients with AH (0.6 to 0.8 BU/ml). Patients with the inhibitor reported lower ADAMTS13:AC, higher VWF:Ag and lower functional liver capacity than those without the inhibitor. Collectively, the findings suggested that decreased ADAMTS13:AC and increased VWF:Ag may be induced by pro-inflammatory cytokinemia as well as the presence of the ADAMTS13 inhibitor, both of which may be closely related to enhanced endotoxemia in patients with ALF.
