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

Endothelial cells that cover the lumen of all blood vessels have the inherent capacity to express both pro and anticoagulant molecules. However, under normal physiological condition, they generally function to maintain a non-thrombogenic surface for unobstructed blood flow. In response to injury, certain stimuli, or as a result of dysfunction, endothelial cells release a highly adhesive procoagulant protein, von Willebrand factor (VWF), which plays a central role in formation of platelet aggregates and thrombus generation. Since VWF expression is highly restricted to endothelial cells, regulation of its levels is among the most important functions of endothelial cells for maintaining hemostasis. However, with aging, there is a significant increase in VWF levels, which is concomitant with a significant rise in thrombotic events. It is not yet clear why and how aging results in increased VWF levels. In this review, we have aimed to discuss the age-related increase in VWF, its potential mechanisms, and associated coagulopathies as probable consequences.
