Impact of activated monocyte and endothelial dysfunction on coagulopathy in Egyptian adult beta thalassemic patients.

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.
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
The mechanism of the well observed hypercoagulability and high incidence of Thromboembolic Events (TE) in β- thalassemia patients has not been fully elucidated. This study aimed to evaluate evaluate the endothelial dysfunction and monocyte activation among adult Egyptian β-thalassemic patients and assess their role in the hypercoagulability and development of TE. A total of 40 adults patients with bthalassemics and 20 healthy age and sex-matched controls were assessed for endothelial dysfunction using serum Von Willebrand Factor Antigen (VWFAg) and for monocytic activation using flow cytometric assessment of CD14 monocyte microparticles and CD11b activated monocytes. The VWF:Ag level was significantly higher among thalassemic patients (P<0.001) and was positively correlated to development of TE (P<0.05). There was no significance difference for CD14 between patients and controls (P>0.5) and CD11b was higher in controls (P=0.004) with no significant correlation between both and TE development (P>0.05). VWF:Ag is increased in thalassemic patients and could be used as a risk factor for thrombosis in these patients, while no identified role of activated monocytes in thrombotic tendency in such patients.
