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: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results in neurovascular damage that initiates intrinsic mechanisms of hypercoagulation, which can contribute to the development of life-threatening complications, such as coagulopathy and delayed thrombosis. Clinical studies have hypothesized that tissue factor (TF) induces hypercoagulability after TBI; however, none have directly shown this relationship. Objectives: In the current study, we took a stepwise approach to understand what factors are driving thrombin generation following experimental TBI. Methods: We employed the contusion-producing controlled cortical impact (CCI) model and the diffuse closed head injury (CHI) model to investigate these mechanisms as a function of injury severity and modality. Whole blood was collected at 6 hours and 24 hours after injury, and platelet-poor plasma was used to measure thrombin generation and extracellular vesicle (EV) TF. Results: We found that plasma thrombin generation, dependent on TF present in the plasma, was greater in CCI-injured animals compared to sham at both 6 hours (120.4 ± 36.9 vs 0.0 ± 0.0 nM*min endogenous thrombin potential) and 24 hours (131.0 ± 34.0 vs 32.1 ± 20.6 nM*min) after injury. This was accompanied by a significant increase in EV TF at 24 hours (328.6 ± 62.1 vs 167.7 ± 20.8 fM) after CCI. Further, EV TF is also increased at 6 hours (126.6 ± 17.1 vs 63.3 ± 14.4 fM) but not 24 hours following CHI. Conclusion: TF-mediated thrombin generation is time-dependent after injury and TF increases resolve earlier following CHI as compared to CCI. Taken together, these data support a TF-mediated pathway of thrombin generation after TBI and pinpoint TF as a major player in TBI-induced coagulopathy.
