Reevaluating anticoagulation therapy for sepsis-associated disseminated intravascular coagulation based on endothelial glycocalyx shedding quantification: a single-center, retrospective, observational pilot study.

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.
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: Sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is associated with critical conditions and linked to a high mortality rate. Anticoagulants such as recombinant human soluble thrombomodulin (rhTM) and antithrombin are used to treat sepsis-associated DIC; however, their efficacy remains controversial. Syndecan-1, a biomarker of endothelial glycocalyx injury, has been proposed as a potential indicator of sepsis severity and prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the association between serum syndecan-1 levels and recovery from sepsis-associated DIC in patients treated with anticoagulants. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted at Gifu University Hospital. Patients aged ≥ 20 years with sepsis-associated DIC treated with anticoagulants (rhTM and antithrombin III) for ≥2 days were included. Serum syndecan-1 levels were measured at baseline, during treatment, and at 2 days after therapy. The relationship between syndecan-1 levels and recovery from DIC, assessed using the Japanese Association for Acute Medicine (JAAM)-2 and JAAM-DIC criteria, was analyzed. Results: Thirteen patients were included. Serum syndecan-1 levels peaked at the start of anticoagulation therapy, decreased during treatment, and increased after cessation of therapy. Recovery from DIC was associated with lower post-treatment syndecan-1 levels ( Conclusion: Syndecan-1 is a potential marker for monitoring endothelial injury and recovery from sepsis-associated DIC. Extended anticoagulant therapy may improve outcomes by reducing endothelial damage and potentially enhancing recovery from DIC in patients with sepsis. Further large-scale studies are required to confirm these findings.
