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

Obesity is a prevalent prothrombotic risk factor marked by enhanced fibrin formation and suppressed fibrinolysis. Fibrin both promotes thrombotic events and drives obesity pathophysiology, but a lack of essential analytical tools has left fibrinolytic mechanisms affected by obesity poorly defined. Using a plasmin-specific fluorogenic substrate, we developed a plasmin generation (PG) assay for mouse plasma that is sensitive to tissue plasminogen activator, α2-antiplasmin, active plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI-1), and fibrin formation, but not fibrin crosslinking. Compared with plasmas from mice fed a control diet, plasmas from mice fed a high-fat diet (HFD) showed delayed PG and reduced PG velocity. Concurrent to impaired PG, HFD also enhanced thrombin generation (TG). The collective impact of abnormal TG and PG in HFD-fed mice produced normal fibrin formation kinetics but delayed fibrinolysis. Functional and proteomic analyses determined that delayed PG in HFD-fed mice was not due to altered levels of plasminogen, α2-antiplasmin, or fibrinogen. Changes in PG were also not explained by elevated PAI-1 because active PAI-1 concentrations required to inhibit the PG assay were 100-fold higher than circulating concentrations in mice. HFD-fed mice had increased circulating thrombomodulin, and inhibiting thrombomodulin or thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) normalized PG, revealing a thrombomodulin- and TAFI-dependent antifibrinolytic mechanism. Integrating kinetic parameters to calculate the metric of TG/PG ratio revealed a quantifiable net shift toward a prothrombotic phenotype in HFD-fed mice. Integrating TG and PG measurements may define a prothrombotic risk factor in diet-induced obesity.
