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

Lupus anticoagulant (LAC) is a well-known laboratory test used to explore potential reasons for the prolongation of phospholipid-dependent coagulation tests. An extended clotting time in a coagulation test typically suggests a bleeding tendency, as the plasma takes longer to clot. However, a positive LAC result, defined as normalization of prolonged clotting time by adding anionic phospholipids in the system, does not necessarily imply this. In fact, quite the opposite is true: a positive LAC often strongly correlates with an increased risk of thromboembolic events. Therefore, despite being conceptually counterintuitive, LAC remains extremely valuable in routine clinical practice for identifying individuals at risk for thromboembolic events. Over the years, various factors have been recognized as potential inducers of LAC, with antiphospholipid antibodies associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) playing a significant role. Today, research indicates that, among antiphospholipid antibodies, those targeting plasma proteins β
