Quantitative Analysis of Impurities in Unfractionated Heparin of Bovine Origin.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 USP heparin sodium monograph lists impurities with specifications developed for porcine derived products. Most of these impurities are of biological origin and are present in porcine intestinal mucosa, the tissue source used in the production of porcine heparin. One of the specified impurities, oversulfated chondroitin sulfate (OSCS), has been introduced in the monograph to detect intended adulteration of heparin products with this impurity. The evaluation of bovine intestinal heparin as an alternative source of pharmaceutical heparin included an evaluation of bovine heparin with the current USP heparin sodium monograph methods. This evaluation included a comparison of impurity quantities observed in multiple bovine intestinal heparin samples against the specifications found in the USP heparin sodium monograph. The impurities investigated in this study were protein, galactosamine, nucleotidic impurities, and OSCS. Bovine intestinal heparin met the requirements in the tests for protein, galactosamine, and nucleotidic impurities. A potential issue was observed with the strong anion exchange high performance liquid chromatography (SAX-HPLC) used to analyze for the presence of OSCS. While the OSCS was well-resolved from the bovine heparin peak, the resolution of dermatan sulfate from heparin did not consistently meet system suitability requirements in the current USP Heparin sodium monograph. The overall levels of impurities observed in bovine intestinal mucosal heparin were comparable to those observed in porcine intestinal mucosal heparin. Bovine intestinal mucosal heparin can be produced with acceptable impurity levels that align with these important quality attributes found in porcine heparin.
