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

Background Human aging is associated with increased risk of thrombosis, but the mechanisms are poorly defined. We hypothesized that aging induces peroxide-dependent release of neutrophil extracellular traps that contribute to thrombin generation and thrombosis. Methods and Results We studied C57BL6J mice and littermates of glutathione peroxidase-1 transgenic and wild-type mice at young (4 month) and old (20 month) ages and a healthy cohort of young (18-39 years) or middle-aged/older (50-72 years) humans. In plasma, we measured thrombin generation potential and components of neutrophil extracellular traps (cell-free DNA and citrullinated histone). Aged wild-type mice displayed a significant increase in thrombin generation that was decreased in aged glutathione peroxidase-1 transgenic mice. Both aged wild-type and aged glutathione peroxidase-1 transgenic mice demonstrated similar elevation of plasma cell-free DNA compared with young mice. In contrast, plasma levels of citrullinated histone were not altered with age or genotype. Release of neutrophil extracellular traps from neutrophils in vitro was also similar between young and aged wild-type or glutathione peroxidase-1 transgenic mice. Treatment of plasma or mice with DNase 1 decreased age-associated increases in thrombin generation, and DNase 1 treatment blocked the development of experimental venous thrombi in aged C57BL6J mice. Similarly, thrombin generation potential and plasma cell-free DNA, but not citrullinated histone, were higher in middle-aged/older humans, and treatment of plasma with DNase 1 reversed the increase in thrombin generation. Conclusions We conclude that DNase 1 limits thrombin generation and protects from venous thrombosis during aging, likely by hydrolyzing cell-free DNA.
