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

The relationship between malignancy and coagulopathy is one that is well documented yet incompletely understood. Clinicians have attempted to quantify the hypercoagulable state produced in various malignancies using common coagulation tests such as prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and platelet count; however, due to these tests' focus on individual aspects of coagulation during one specific time point, they have failed to provide clinicians the complete picture of malignancy-associated coagulopathy (MAC). Viscoelastic tests (VETs), such as thromboelastography (TEG) and rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM), are whole blood analyses that have the advantage of providing information related to the cumulative effects of plasma clotting factors, platelets, leukocytes, and red cells during all stages of the coagulation and fibrinolytic processes. VETs have gained popularity in the care of trauma patients to objectively measure trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC), but the utility of VETs remains yet unrealized in many other medical specialties. The authors discuss the similarities and differences between TIC and MAC, and propose a mechanism for the hypercoagulable state of MAC that revolves around the thrombomodulin-thrombin complex as it switches between activating the protein C anticoagulation pathway or the thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor coagulation pathway. Additionally, they review the current literature on the use of TEG and ROTEM in patients with various malignancies. Although limited research is currently available, early results demonstrate the utility of both TEG and ROTEM in the prediction of hypercoagulable states and thromboembolic complications in oncologic patients.
