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

Injectable anticoagulants are widely used in medical procedures to prevent unwanted blood clotting. However, many lack safe, effective reversal agents. Here, we present new data on a previously described RNA origami-based, direct thrombin inhibitor (HEX01). We describe a new, fast-acting, specific, single-molecule reversal agent (antidote) and present in vivo data for the first time, including efficacy, reversibility, preliminary safety, and initial biodistribution studies. HEX01 contains multiple thrombin-binding aptamers appended on an RNA origami. It exhibits excellent anticoagulation activity in vitro and in vivo. The new single-molecule, DNA antidote (HEX02) reverses anticoagulation activity of HEX01 in human plasma within 30 s in vitro and functions effectively in a murine liver laceration model. Biodistribution studies of HEX01 in whole mice using ex vivo imaging show accumulation mainly in the liver over 24 h and with 10-fold lower concentrations in the kidneys. Additionally, we show that the HEX01/HEX02 system is non-cytotoxic to epithelial cell lines and non-hemolytic in vitro. Furthermore, we found no serum cytokine response to HEX01/HEX02 in a murine model. HEX01 and HEX02 represent a safe and effective coagulation control system with a fast-acting, specific reversal agent showing promise for potential drug development.
