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

backgroundThe thrombin generation (TG) assay, which measures global coagulation, has mainly been used as a research tool to investigate thrombotic and bleeding disorders. Recently, Diagnostica Stago launched the ST Genesia, a fully automated system to perform "routine version" of this assay. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the imprecision compared with the previous method, Thrombinoscope CAT, and to establish reference intervals.

methodsThrombin generation was measured in platelet-poor citrated plasma from 20 normal controls (fresh and after freezing at -80°C up to 12-13 weeks) on CAT and ST Genesia in duplicate to estimate the total variation, and within and between variations. The reference intervals were estimated nonparametrically in 30 men, 30 women taking combined oral contraceptives (COCs), and 30 women not taking COCs. These were sampled in both Vacutainer and Monovette tubes (i.e., tubes with a high and minimal contact activation, respectively).

resultsFreezing had minimal effects. Imprecision was comparable between the ST Genesia and CAT, with a strong correlation between the two methods. TG was higher when sampled in Vacutainer than in Monovette. We observed a distinct difference between women taking and not taking COCs, whereas men and women not taking COC were quite similar.

conclusionsThrombin generation on ST Genesia showed an analytical variation similar to that of CAT. The results depended on the type of sample tubes; thus, reference intervals must be established for the collection tubes used in each laboratory. Furthermore, a considerable difference was observed between women using and not using COCs.
