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

Fibrinogen (Fg) adsorption is an important mechanism underlying cell adhesion to biomaterials and was the major focus of the author's research career. This article summarizes our work on Fg adsorption, with citations of related work as appropriate. The molecular properties of Fg that promote adsorption and cell adhesion will be described. In addition, the adsorption behavior of Fg from buffer, binary solutions with other proteins, and blood plasma will be discussed, including the Vroman effect. Studies of platelet adhesion to surfaces preadsorbed with blood plasmas selectively deficient in Fg, vitronectin (Vn), fibronectin (Fn), or von Willebrand's factor (vWf) will be reviewed. These studies clearly showed a major role for Fg in platelet adhesion under static conditions and both Fg and vWf for adhesion from flowing suspensions, but no significant role for Vn or Fn. However, it was also shown that platelet adhesion was poorly correlated with the total amount of adsorbed Fg, but very well correlated with the binding of antibodies specific to the cell binding domains of Fg. A brief overview of nonfouling surfaces for prevention of Fg adsorption will be given. A more extensive discussion of structural changes in Fg after its adsorption is included, including changes detected with both physicochemical and biological methods. A short discussion of the state of the art of structural determination of adsorbed proteins with computational methods is also given. A final section identifies Fg adsorption as the single most important event determining the biocompatibility of implants in soft tissue and in blood. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
