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

The pathophysiological background of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has not been fully elucidated. Evidence suggests that abnormal platelet function and ineffective fibrinolysis may play a key role in the development of the disease. The purpose of this study was to evaluate platelet and coagulation function in CTEPH, using non-conventional global coagulation assays, and platelet activation and endothelial dysfunction laboratory markers. A total of 40 newly-diagnosed CTEPH patients were studied, along with 35 healthy controls. Blood samples from CTEPH patients were taken directly from the pulmonary artery. All subjects were assessed with platelet function analyzer-100, light transmission aggregometry, thromboelastometry, endogenous thrombin potential. von Willebrand antigen and activity, p-selectin, thromboxane A2 and serotonin levels were also assessed. The results showed that CTEPH patients present diminished platelet aggregation, presence of disaggregation, decreased rate of fibrinolysis, defective thrombin generation and increased levels of thromboxane A2, p-selectin, von Willebrand antigen and activity. Serotonin levels did not present any differences between the two groups. The results of this study suggest that CTEPH patients present platelet function, fibrinolytic, thrombin generation and other clot formation abnormalities. Well-designed clinical studies are needed to further evaluate the complex hemostatic abnormalities in the CTEPH setting and assess their potential clinical applications.
