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: Severe exercise performed over longer duration can involve multiple prothrombotic alterations in blood coagulation markers. Standard coagulation tests are not robust in identifying hyper- or hypocoagulability due to indirect determination of changes in hemostasis and fibrinolysis. Conversely, viscoelastic tests might do so. Objectives: The aim of this pilot study was to assess the exercise-induced changes in coagulatory and fibrinolytic processes by applying viscoelastic tests in a mountain ultramarathon. Seven elite athletes participating in the World Mountain and Trailrunning Championship 2023 were examined. The 86.9 km track involved 6500 m of climbing and 6920 m of descent. Methods: Venous blood samples were taken the day prior to and within 3 hours following the competition. Plasma coagulation tests and whole blood viscoelastic coagulation tests (ClotPro) were used to assess changes in hemostasis. Results: Plasma coagulation testing revealed prolonged prothrombin time, with correlatively decreased factor (F)V, FVII, and FX activities. As a consequence of increased intrinsic coagulation factor activities (FVIII, FIX, FXI, and FXII) and von Willebrand factor, activated partial thromboplastin time was shortened. In addition, plasminogen decreased, whereas α2-antiplasmin and D-dimer showed significant elevations. Maximal lysis, examined by viscoelastometric tests, was observed to be slightly diminished postrace, whereas fibrin polymerization increased. Conclusion: The trail-long race generated substantial alterations in coagulation that were linked to a higher inflammatory state, with characteristic increases in FVIII, von Willebrand factor, and fibrinogen levels. Viscoelastic coagulation monitoring used in our study was able to reflect the summation of pro- and anticoagulants, as well as pro- and antifibrinolytic changes, in hemostasis.
