Hypofibrinolysis in pediatric patients with veno-occlusive disease in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

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
purposeVeno-occlusive disease (VOD) is a serious complication of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with a high incidence in pediatric patients. This study aimed to detect signs of hypofibrinolysis using thrombelastography.
methodsIn this prospective single-center study, thrombelastographic measurements (EX and TPA tests) were taken during HSCT to detect signs of impaired coagulation, clot formation, or hypofibrinolysis.
resultsOf 51 patients undergoing allogeneic and autologous HSCT, five (9.8%) developed VOD and received defibrotide treatment. Thrombelastography measurements were also obtained from 55 healthy children as a control group. The results show that clot lysis was prolonged in VOD patients compared to other HSCT patients and control group (lysis time, TPA test: day + 14 to + 21: VOD: 330 ± 67 s vs. HSCT: 246 ± 53 s; p = 0.0106; control: 234 ± 50 s; control vs. VOD: p = 0.0299). The maximum lysis was reduced in HSCT patients compared to controls (EX test: control: 8.3 ± 3.2%; HSCT: day 0 to + 6: 5.3 ± 2.6%, p < 0.0001; day + 7 to + 13: 3.9 ± 2.1%, p < 0.0001; day + 14 to d + 21: 4.1 ± 2.3%, p < 0.0001).
conclusionThese results suggest that HSCT patients exhibit reduced fibrinolytic capacities and patients diagnosed with VOD show signs of hypofibrinolysis. This prospective study shows that fibrinolysis can be assessed in a rapid and accessible way via thrombelastography. Thrombelastography might be a parameter to support the diagnosis of a VOD and to serve as a follow-up parameter after the diagnosis of a VOD.
