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

backgroundThrombomodulin (TM) is a promising therapeutic natural anti-coagulant, which exerts the effects to control disseminated intravascular coagulation. However, little is known whether TM on micro-vessels could play an important role in the regulation of intimal hyperplasia. We investigated the vessel-protective effect of TM in the survival of fully major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-mismatched murine cardiac allograft transplantation.

methodsCBA recipients transplanted with a C57BL/6 heart received intraperitoneal administration of normal saline or 0.2, 2.0, and 20.0 μg/day of TM for 7 days (n = 5, 7, 11, and 11, respectively). Immunohistochemical and fluorescent staining studies were performed to determine whether CD4

resultsUntreated CBA recipients rejected C57BL/6 cardiac grafts acutely (median survival time [MST], 7 days). CBA recipients exposed with the above doses had significantly prolonged allograft survival (MSTs, 17, 24 and 50 days, respectively). Morphometric assessment showed that intimal hyperplasia was clearly suppressed in the left and right coronary arteries or allografts from TM-exposed recipients 2 and 4 weeks. Immunohistochemical studies at 2 weeks showed more CD4

conclusionsTM may prolong the survival of fully MHC-mismatched cardiac allografts through suppressing intimal hyperplasia and inducing the accumulation of regulatory CD4
