ADAMTS13, VWF, and Endotoxin Are Interrelated and Associated with the Severity of Liver Cirrhosis via Hypercoagulability.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
ADAMTS13 specifically cleaves the multimeric von Willebrand factor (VWF), and an imbalance between ADAMTS13 activity (ADAMTS13:AC) and VWF antigen (VWF:Ag) levels is associated with the severity of liver cirrhosis (LC). However, the reason for this imbalance in patients with LC is unknown. This study investigated the relationship among ADAMTS13:AC, VWF:Ag, and endotoxin (Et) levels in patients with LC. ADAMTS13:AC and VWF:Ag levels were determined using ELISA, whereas Et levels were estimated using a chromogenic substrate assay. The levels of ADAMTS13 inhibitor (ADAMTS13:INH) were evaluated by measuring the extent that heat-inactivated patient's plasma reduces the ADAMTS13:AC of the control. The status (degraded, normal, or unusually large [UL]) of the VWF multimer (VWFM) was determined through vertical agarose gel electrophoresis. ADAMTS13:AC, VWF:Ag, and Et levels decreased, increased, and increased, respectively, with the severity of LC. Patients with cirrhosis with high Et levels had lower and higher ADAMTS13:AC and VWF:Ag levels, respectively, than those with low Et levels. Patients with cirrhosis with detectable ADAMTS13:INH had higher Et levels than those with undetectable ADAMTS13:INH. Patients whose VWFM was either normal or UL had higher Et levels than those with degraded VWFM. In conclusion, ADAMTS13, VWF, and Et may be interrelated and associated with the severity of LC via hypercoagulability.
