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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of antithrombin III (AT III) and pentoxifylline treatments on the gram negative septic patients with disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

methodFor six days after plasma AT III activity dropped lower than 80% in Gram-patients who developed DIC were treated with AT III (90-120 IU/kg/day in 6 hours) or pentoxifylline (1.5 mg/kg/h in 6 hours) Fibrinogen, FDP, D-dimer, complete blood count, AT III activity, and DIC scores were calculated and recorded.

resultsThe coagulation tests, AT III activity and FDP started to improve from the second day of treatment with both treatments (p<0.05). D-Dimer started to decrease on the second day of treatment with pentoxifylline (p<0.001) and fourth day of AT III treatment (p<0.05). Fibrinogen levels decreased on the second day of pentoxifylline treatment (p<0.05) and on the last day of AT III treatment (p<0.001). DIC scores started to decrease on the last day of treatment with AT III treatment (p<0.001) and on the third day of treatment with pentoxifylline (p<0.05).

conclusionBoth ATIII and pentoxifylline treatments had positive effects on fibrinogen, FDP, D-Dimer, AT III activity and DIC scores in patients with Gram-negative sepsis who developed DIC.
