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

backgroundPlatelet-derived microparticles (PDMPs) that ultimately cause vascular complications might be used as a tool to assess thrombotic areas. We identified PDMPs, high-mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and soluble endothelial protein C receptor (sEPCR) as useful prognosis indicators for cancer-related thrombosis (CAT) to evaluate the utility of PDMPs in cancer patients.

methodsWe investigated 232 cancer patients: 24 (10.3%) had thrombotic complications within 6 months after their first examination. Levels of PDMP and biomarkers were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

resultsThe levels of PDMPs, HMGB1 and sEPCR were higher in cancer patients compared with controls. In particular, these levels were significantly elevated in lung cancer patients compared with controls, and all were higher in CAT-positive patients compared with CAT-negative patients. In particular, PDMP levels in CAT-positive patients were significantly elevated compared with CAT-negative patients. PDMP levels were significantly lower in patients who lived for more than 901 days after their first examination compared with previous data. PDMP levels were positively correlated with HMGB1, and caused the dose-dependent elevation of PDMPs in vitro using platelet-rich plasma from healthy persons.

conclusionThe combined increase in PDMP and HMGB1 levels might be related to CAT in cancer patients. Therefore, coagulatory dysfunction may result from increased levels of these biomarkers and contribute to the poor prognosis of cancer patients.
