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

backgroundAggressive fluid management and other external factors may lead to hypothermia, acidosis and hemodilution (defined as Lethal Triad, LT) contributing to a trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC) that worsens patients' outcomes. Procoagulant microparticles (MP) are crucial players at the interface of cellular and plasmatic coagulation. However, their functions remain largely unexplored. This study aimed to characterize effects of MP subtypes and concentrations on functional coagulation under in vitro simulated conditions.

methodsBlood from eleven volunteers were collected to simulate in vitro conditions of hemodilution (HD) and LT, respectively. HD was induced by replacing a blood volume of 33% by crystalloids and for LT, samples were further processed by reducing the temperature to 32 °C and lowering the pH to 6.8. MP were obtained either from platelet concentrates (platelet-derived MP, PDMP) or from cell culture (ECV304 cells for endothelial-derived MP, EDMP) by targeted stimulation. After introducing MP to in vitro conditions, we measured their concentration-dependent effects (1.000, 10.000 and 15.000 MP/μl blood) on coagulation compared to whole blood (WB). For each condition, coagulation was characterized by flow cytometric platelet activation and by quantification of fibrin clot propagation using Thrombodynamics® technology.

resultsMP originated from platelets and endothelial cells affected blood coagulation in a concentration-dependent manner. Particularly, high PDMP quantities (10.000 and 15.000 PDMP/μl blood) significantly induced platelet activation and fibrin clot growth and size in HD conditions. In LT conditions as well, only high PDMP concentration induced platelet activation, clot growth and size. In contrast, EDMP did not induce platelet activation, but resulted in enhanced formation of spontaneous clots, irrespective of simulated condition. With increasing EDMP concentration, the time until the onset of spontaneous clotting decreased in both HD and LT conditions. DISCUSSION: The study demonstrates an essential role of MP within the coagulation process under simulated coagulopathic conditions. PDMP affected platelets promoting clot formation likely by providing a surface enlargement. EDMP presumably affected clotting factors of the plasmatic coagulation resulting in an increased formation of spontaneous clots.

conclusionUnder simulated conditions of a dilutional coagulopathy, MP from different cellular origin indicate a divergent but both procoagulant mechanism within the coagulation process.
