A rechargeable anti-thrombotic coating for blood-contacting devices.
Article in Biomaterials, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Despite the potential of anti-thrombogenic coatings, including heparinized surfaces, to improve the performance of blood-contacting devices, the inevitable deterioration of bioactivity remains an important factor in device failure and related thrombotic complications. As a consequence, the ability to restore the bioactivity of a surface coating after implantation of a blood-contacting device provides a potentially important strategy to enhance its clinical performance. Here, we report the regeneration of a multicomponent anti-thrombogenic coating through use of an evolved sortase A to mediate reversible transpeptidation. Both recombinant thrombomodulin and a chemoenzymatically synthesized ultra-low molecular weight heparin were repeatedly and selectively immobilized or removed in a sequential, alternating, or simultaneous manner. The generation of activated protein C (aPC) and inhibition of activated factor X (FXa) was consistent with the molecular composition of the surface. The fabrication of a rechargeable anti-thrombogenic surface was demonstrated on an expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) vascular graft with reconstitution of the surface bound coating 4 weeks after in vivo implantation in a rat model.
