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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bivalirudin on endothelial cell proliferation and neointimal hyperplasia in a rabbit carotid artery model.

methods"New Zealand rabbits (n = 12)" weighing 2-3 kg were randomly divided into two groups. Arteriotomy was performed to the rabbit carotid artery and closed with continuous suture technique. Group B (n = 6) as a control group received 150 U/kg heparin sodium; however, group A (n = 6) was given 0.75 mg/kg bivalirudin i.v. bolus and infusion 1.75 mg/kg/hour (B01AE06-Bivalirudin 250 mg) during perioperation period. At the end of the 28th day, the carotid artery segment was excised and evaluated histologically.

resultsAll histological and immune staining analyzes were performed by two blind researchers in the treatment of rabbits. In the control group rabbit carotid artery sections, tunica intima was observed to thicken. In the bivalirudin group, intimal hyperplasia was less observed compared to the control group. No significant difference was observed between groups in tunica media thickness. Lumen diameter and lumen area were found to be wider in the experimental group. P value was found to be less than 0.05.

conclusionOur study demonstrates that bivalirudin significantly affects and prevents neointimal hyperplasia and endothelial cell proliferation.
