Supplemental fibrinogen restores thrombus formation in cardiopulmonary bypass-induced platelet dysfunction ex vivo.
Article in British journal of anaesthesia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundMajor cardiac surgery related blood loss is associated with increased postoperative morbidity and mortality. Platelet dysfunction is believed to contribute to post-cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)-induced microvascular bleeding. We hypothesised that moderately hypothermic CPB induces platelet dysfunction and that supplemental fibrinogen can restore in vitro thrombus formation.
methodsBlood from 18 patients, undergoing first-time elective isolated aortic valve surgery was drawn before CPB, 30 min after initiation of CPB, and after CPB and protamine administration, respectively. Platelet aggregation was quantified by optical aggregometry, platelet activation by flow-cytometric detection of platelet surface expression of P-selectin, annexin V, and activated glycoprotein IIb/IIIa, thrombus formation under flow and effect of supplemental fibrinogen (4 mg ml
resultsPost-CPB adenosine-diphosphate and TRAP-6-induced aggregation decreased by 40% and 10% of pre-CPB levels, respectively (P<0.0001). Although CPB did not change glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor expression, it increased the percentage of unstimulated P-selectin (1.2% vs 7%, P<0.01) positive cells and annexin V mean fluorescence intensity (15.5 vs 17.2, P<0.05), but decreased percentage of stimulated P-selectin (52% vs 26%, P<0.01) positive cells and annexin V mean fluorescence intensity (508 vs 325, P<0.05). Thrombus area decreased from 6820 before CPB to 5230 after CPB (P<0.05, arbitrary units [a.u.]). Supplemental fibrinogen increased thrombus formation to 20 324 and 11 367 a.u. before CPB and after CPB, respectively (P<0.001), thereby restoring post-CPB thrombus area to levels comparable with or higher than pre-CPB baseline.
conclusionsSingle valve surgery using moderately hypothermic CPB induces partial platelet dysfunction. Thrombus formation was restored in an experimental study design by ex vivo supplementation of fibrinogen.
