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

Background: Our group recently reported that chymase, a serine protease synthetized and released by mast cells, plays a pivotal role in thrombi stabilization in murine deep vein thrombosis (DVT) models, by interfering with the fibrinolytic properties of endogenous plasmin within thrombi. However, the impact of mast cell-derived chymase on endogenous plasmin activity in human blood clots has yet to be explored. Methods: The antifibrinolytic properties of human recombinant chymase (rCMA-1) were investigated using an Results: Although rapidly neutralized in plasma, rCMA-1 remains active within the local microenvironment of a blood clot, inducing resistance to endogenous plasmin-mediated fibrinolysis in the presence of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA). This leads to a concentration-dependent decrease in clot lysis by rCMA-1. The plasmin-inactivating properties of rCMA-1 were inhibited by fulacimstat, resulting in an accelerated clot dissolution. The pro-fibrinolytic effects of fulacimstat in human blood clots were reversed by a plasminogen/plasmin inhibitor, BAY 1214237. Finally, fulacimstat-sensitive chymase activity was identified in thrombi collected from thrombectomy patients, supporting the potential role of the mast cell-derived serine protease in human blood clot stabilization under pathological conditions. Conclusion: These
