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: Endothelial cells (ECs) provide a surface for molecular interactions, secreting various factors that govern hemostasis. Inflammatory cytokines can perturb the vascular microenvironment, potentially causing endothelial dysfunction and dysregulation of hemostasis. Objectives: To examine the fibrinolytic balance of ECs from different vascular beds and their response to proinflammatory stimuli. Methods: Primary human umbilical vein ECs (HUVECs), human coronary artery ECs (HCAECs), and immortalized EA.hy926 cells were cultured under venous (2.5 dyne/cm Results: Basal secretion of C-reactive protein, urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA), and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) was higher in HCAECs than in HUVECs, but tPA was similar in both. TNF-α stimulation of HCAECs increased secretion of tPA, uPA, and PAI-1. Levels of tPA/PAI-1 and uPA/PAI-1 were higher in media, as was free-active PAI-1. In contrast, stimulation of HUVECs did not significantly alter gene/protein levels. HCAECs and HUVECs delayed clot lysis relative to no-cell controls by 11 ± 8 minutes ( Conclusion: HCAECs respond more potently to a proinflammatory environment than HUVECs, altering expression of fibrinolytic proteins and promoting a hypofibrinolytic response. These data highlight HCAECs as a model of coronary vasculature with potential for screening novel antithrombotic strategies.
