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

backgroundUlcerative colitis (UC) increases the risk for venous thromboembolism. Tissue factor (TF) initiates the extrinsic coagulation pathway (ECP).

aimsTo investigate the correlation of UC severity with latent ECP activation and TF expression in primary colonic stromal cells (PCSC).

methodsIn plasma of 38 UC patients (31 males, disease duration 151 ± 25 months) and 28 healthy controls, exosomes and microparticles (EM) were counted. Moreover, TF protein concentration, activities of EM-bound TF (EM-TFa) and coagulation factor VII (FVIIa) were assessed. In PCSC in culture, TF mRNA (F3) from 12 patients with active UC and 7 controls was evaluated.

resultsUC patients had 4- and 3.7- times more exosomes and microparticles, respectively, than controls. TF protein in UC was correlated with several disease severity indices, such as partial Mayo score (pMs; r 0.443), albumin (- 0.362), ESR (0.353), PLT (0.575), and endoscopic Ms (eMs 0.468). EM-TFa was also significantly higher in UC and was correlated to SIBDQ (- 0.64), albumin (- 0.624), disease extent and eMs (0.422). Refractory-to-treatment patients had significantly higher TF protein, EM-TFa and FVIIa. Even within responders, the need for steroids or biologics correlated with a 2.2-times higher EM-TFa. PCSC from active UC maintained higher F3 than controls, which was correlated to pMs (0.56), albumin (- 0.543) and eMs. Treatment with cytokines further upregulated F3. P for all comparisons was < 0.05.

conclusionLow-grade activation of the ECP associates with clinical, endoscopic UC activity and response to treatment. TF in PCSC mirrors its systemic activity and points to them as a source.
