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

backgroundVascular homeostasis is ensured by a dynamic interplay involving the endothelium, the platelets and the coagulation system. Thus, the vascular safety of particulate materials must address this integrated system, an approach that has been largely neglected. This work analysed the effects of commercial hydroxyapatite (HA) particles in blood compatibility and in endothelial cell behavior, due to their clinical relevance and scarcity of data on their vascular biosafety.

resultsParticles with similar chemical composition and distinct size and morphology were tested, i.e. rod-like, nano dimensions and low aspect ratio (HAp1) and needle-shape with wider size and aspect ratio (HAp2). HAp1 and HAp2, at 1 to 10 mg/mL, did not affect haemolysis, platelet adhesion, aggregation and activation, or the coagulation system (intrinsic and extrinsic pathways), although HAp2 exhibited a slight thrombogenic potential at 10 mg/mL. Notwithstanding, significantly lower levels presented dose-dependent toxicity on endothelial cells' behavior. HAp1 and HAp2 decreased cell viability at levels ≥ 250 and ≥ 50 μg/mL, respectively. At 10 and 50 μg/mL, HAp1 did not interfere with the F-actin cytoskeleton, apoptotic index, cell cycle progression, expression of vWF, VECad and CD31, and the ability to form a network of tubular-like structures. Comparatively, HAp2 caused dose-dependent toxic effects in these parameters in the same concentration range.

conclusionThe most relevant observation is the great discrepancy of HA particles' levels that interfere with the routine blood compatibility assays and the endothelial cell behavior. Further, this difference was also found to be dependent on the particles' size, morphology and aspect ratio, emphasizing the need of a complementary biological characterization, taking into consideration the endothelial cells' functionality, to establish the vascular safety of particulate HA.
