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

This study was undertaken to develop a numerical/computational simulation of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) - mediated platelet shear activation and deposition in an idealized stenosis. Blood is treated as a multi-constituent mixture comprised of a linear fluid component and a porous solid component (thrombus). Chemical and biological species involved in coagulation are modeled using a system of coupled convection-reaction-diffusion (CRD) equations. This study considers the cumulative effect of shear stress (history) on platelet activation. The vWF activity is modeled as an enhancement function for the shear stress accumulation and is related to the experimentally-observed unfolding rate of vWF. A series of simulations were performed in an idealized stenosis in which the predicted platelets deposition agreed well with previous experimental observations spatially and temporally, including the reduction of platelet deposition with decreasing expansion angle. Further simulation indicated a direct relationship between vWF-mediated platelet deposition and degree of stenosis. Based on the success with these benchmark simulations, it is hoped that the model presented here may provide additional insight into vWF-mediated thrombosis and prove useful for the development of more hemo-compatible blood-wetted devices in the future.
