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

backgroundThe thrombin generation (TG) assay is a feasible but labor-intensive method for detecting global coagulation. It enables comprehensive assessment of anticoagulation, while drug-specific assays assess only exposure. Traditionally, the Calibrated Automated Thrombogram (CAT) has been used, however the ST Genesia (Diagnostica Stago) allows automated evaluation.

objectiveWe aimed to observe coagulation using the ST Genesia and compare the data with those of CAT in anticoagulated patients. PATIENTS AND

methodsIn total, 43 frozen-thawed samples were studied using DrugScreen to assess direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), warfarin, and low-molecular-weight heparin. Twenty samples (nine rivaroxaban, five apixaban, three warfarin, and three heparin) were also compared using CAT (5 pM tissue factor).

resultsTG reduction in DrugScreen depended on the specific drug and modestly correlated with DOAC levels (lag time R

conclusionThe ST Genesia data did not correlate with CAT, but it was independently associated with INR, anti-Xa, and DOAC concentrations. The lag time and peak responses were similar; the major differences were that ST Genesia showed no ETP effect of DOACs and failed to give readout at high INR or anti-Xa activity.
