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

In Japan, the dose of the new recombinant antithrombin III concentrate (rAT-gamma) is titrated according to patient body weight (BW), while conventional plasma-derived antithrombin concentrates (AT) are administered as a fixed dose. Therefore, it is anticipated that rAT-gamma could produce better treatment effects than AT. The aim of this study was to compare the organ protective effects of doses of rAT-gamma and AT administered in clinical practice for septic disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and multiple organ failure. This study was performed at a single university hospital in Japan. A total of 49 patients with antithrombin deficiency secondary to septic DIC who were administered either rAT-gamma (n = 26) or AT (n = 23) were retrospectively analyzed to assess the dose of supplemental antithrombin concentrates, plasma antithrombin activity, Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM)-DIC score, and modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score on days 0, 3 and 6. The AT-equivalent dose per kg BW of rAT-gamma (equal to the initial rAT-gamma dose per kg BW divided by 1.2) was significantly higher than the dose per kg BW of AT (AT 23.4 ± 5.1 vs. rAT 28.9 ± 3.9 IU/kg/day; P < 0.001). Consequently, serial increases in plasma antithrombin levels occurred more rapidly in the rAT-gamma group (P = 0.036). JAAM DIC and modified SOFA scores revealed significantly greater improvement in the rAT versus the AT group (JAAM DIC score: P = 0.042, mSOFA score: P = 0.005). The results of this study suggest that AT supplementation adjusted for patient BW might further improve septic DIC and multiple organ failure.
