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

Rhamnan sulfate (RS) is a polysaccharide with a rhamnose backbone isolated from Monostroma nitidum. Like heparin, it exerts anticoagulant activity in the presence of antithrombin. Endothelial cells facilitate the crosstalk between blood coagulation and vascular inflammation. In this study, we compared the effect of RS with that of heparin on blood coagulation and vascular endothelial cells in the presence or absence of inflammatory factors, using human umbilical vein endothelial cells. We found that RS significantly enhances inhibition of thrombin and factor Xa in the presence of antithrombin as well as heparin, and that RS inhibits tissue factor expression and von Willebrand factor release from the endothelial cells treated with or without lipopolysaccharide, tumor necrosis factor-α, or thrombin. Heparin did not show any effects on endothelial cell inflammation. Our findings suggest that RS, like heparin, is an antithrombin-dependent anticoagulant and, unlike heparin, is a potent anti-inflammatory agent acting on vascular endothelial cells.
