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

introductionThe thrombin generation (TG) test is a global hemostasis assay sensitive to procoagulant conditions. However, some TG assays may underestimate elevated TG when the thrombin fluorogenic substrate is depleted or fluorescence is attenuated by the inner filter effect (IFE).

objectivesWe sought to elucidate the extent to which procoagulant conditions require correcting for fluorogenic substrate depletion and/or IFE.

methodsWe analyzed corrections for substrate depletion and IFE and their effect on TG parameters in plasma samples with elevated blood coagulation factors in the presence or absence of thrombomodulin via commercial calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT) platform and in-house software capable of internal thrombin calibration with or without CAT-like artifact correction.

resultsElevated thrombin peak height (TPH) and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) were detected with 2× and 4× increases in blood coagulation factors I, V, VIII, IX, X, and XI, or prothrombin in the presence or absence of artifact correction. The effect of the CAT algorithm was evident in TG curves from both low procoagulant (thrombomodulin-supplemented) and procoagulant (factor-supplemented) plasma samples. However, in all samples, with the exception of elevated prothrombin, CAT's correction was small (<10%) and did not affect detection of procoagulant samples versus normal plasma. For elevated prothrombin samples, uncorrected TPH or ETP values were underestimated, and CAT correction produced drastically elevated TG curves.

conclusionsOur data suggest that correction for substrate consumption and IFE, as offered by the CAT algorithm, is critical for detecting a subset of extremely procoagulant samples, such as elevated prothrombin, but is not necessary for all other conditions, including elevated factors XI and VIII.
