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

backgroundVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality.

objectivesWe investigated the impact of direct and AT-dependent FXa or thrombin inhibitors on thrombus formation.

methodsWhole blood thromboelastometry and thrombin generation were assessed after triggering the TF pathway. Clinically relevant concentrations of rivaroxaban, fondaparinux, dabigatran or tinzaparin and an association of rivaroxaban and dabigatran were examined.

resultsAll agents delayed thrombus formation in a concentration-dependent manner, as documented by the prolongation of the clotting time (CT) and clot formation time (CFT). Rivaroxaban did not significantly alter the α-angle or maximum clot firmness (MCF). In contrast, dabigatran and fondaparinux altered the process of clot structure by decreasing the α-angle, but did not modify clot firmness. The later property was significantly affected only by tinzaparin that also reduced the MCF. The association of rivaroxaban and dabigatran did not affect the MCF, although it amplified the effect on CFT and α-angle.

conclusionsAll agents delayed thrombus formation. However, the compounds differed substantially with respect to fibrin polymerization rate and clot firmness. Comparison of the data obtained by thrombin generation assessment with those obtained by the thromboelastometric study shows that the delay in clot formation is principally associated with prolongation of the initiation phase of thrombin formation as well as a reduction of the propagation phase. Tinzaparin was much more potent than the other agents both with regard to suppression of thrombin generation and by delay in clot formation.
