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

Hemostasis is an innate protective mechanism that plays a central role in maintaining the homeostasis of the vascular system during vascular injury. Studying this essential physiological process is often challenged by the difficulty of modeling and probing the complex dynamics of hemostatic responses in the native context of human blood vessels. To address this major challenge, this paper describes a microengineering approach for in vitro modeling of hemostasis. This microphysiological model replicates the living endothelium, multilayered microarchitecture, and procoagulant activity of human blood vessels, and is also equipped with a microneedle that is actuated with spatial precision to simulate penetrating vascular injuries. The system recapitulates key features of the hemostatic response to acute vascular injury as observed in vivo, including i) thrombin-driven accumulation of platelets and fibrin, ii) formation of a platelet- and fibrin-rich hemostatic plug that halts blood loss, and iii) matrix deformation driven by platelet contraction for wound closure. Moreover, the potential use of this model for drug testing applications is demonstrated by evaluating the effects of anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents that are in current clinical use. The vascular injury-on-a-chip may serve as an enabling platform for preclinical investigation of hematological disorders and emerging therapeutic approaches against them.
