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

Activated protein C resistance (APCR) reflects a hemostatic state defined by a reduced ability of activated protein C (APC) to affect an anticoagulant response. This state of hemostatic imbalance is characterized by a heightened risk of venous thromboembolism. Protein C is an endogenous anticoagulant that is produced by the hepatocytes and undergoes proteolysis-mediated activation to APC. APC in turn degrades activated Factors V and VIII. APCR describes a state of resistance by activated Factors V and VIII to APC-mediated cleavage of these factors, thereby promoting amplified thrombin production and a potentially procoagulant state. This resistance of APC may be inherited or acquired. Mutations in Factor V are responsible for the most frequent form hereditary APCR. The predominant mutation, a G1691A missense mutation at Arginine 506, the so-called Factor V Leiden [FVL], causes a deletion of an APC-targeted cleavage site in Factor Va, thereby rendering it resistant to inactivation by APC. There are a variety of laboratory assays for APCR, but this chapter focuses on a procedure using a commercially available clotting assay that utilizes a snake venom and ACL TOP analyzers.
