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 fibrinolytic system consists of a balance between rates of plasminogen activation and fibrin degradation, both of which are finely regulated by spatio-temporal mechanisms. Three distinct inhibitors of the fibrinolytic system that differently regulate these two steps are plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), α2-antiplasmin, and thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI). In this review, we focus on the mechanisms by which PAI-1 governs total fibrinolytic activity to provide its essential role in many hemostatic disorders, including fibrinolytic shutdown after trauma. PAI-1 is a member of the serine protease inhibitor (SERPIN) superfamily and inhibits the protease activities of plasminogen activators (PAs) by forming complexes with PAs, thereby regulating fibrinolysis. The major PA in the vasculature is tissue-type PA (tPA) which is secreted from vascular endothelial cells (VECs) as an active enzyme and is retained on the surface of VECs. PAI-1, existing in molar excess to tPA in plasma, regulates the amount of free active tPA in plasma and on the surface of VECs by forming a tPA-PAI-1 complex. Thus, high plasma levels of PAI-1 are directly related to attenuated fibrinolysis and increased risk for thrombosis. Since plasma PAI-1 levels are highly elevated under a variety of pathological conditions, including infection and inflammation, the fibrinolytic potential in plasma and on VECs is readily suppressed to induce fibrinolytic shutdown. A congenital deficiency of PAI-1 in humans, in turn, leads to life-threatening bleeding. These considerations support the contention that PAI-1 is the primary regulator of the initial step of fibrinolysis and governs total fibrinolytic activity.
