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: The inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis model in mice is widely used in venous thrombosis research. However, high variability in thrombus size, reliance on discrete evaluation time points that vary across studies, and the absence of a unified measure of thrombus resolution dynamics hinder the preclinical assessment of candidate treatments designed to accelerate thrombus resolution. Objectives: To develop a methodological framework for assessing thrombus resolution dynamics in the IVC stenosis model. Methods: Wild-type mice, neutrophil-specific integrin α9-deficient mice (α9 Results: Ligation of the IVC back branches improved the consistency of thrombus formation in wild-type mice by reducing length variance, independently of surgeon variability. The proportional thrombus resolution rate in wild-type mice was 10.5% per day, with a time to half-maximum thrombus volume of 6.3 days (from day 2 postsurgery). Although neutrophil-specific integrin α9-deficient mice exhibited smaller initial thrombus volumes compared with controls, no difference in thrombus resolution dynamics was observed between the 2 mouse cohorts. Conclusion: Integrating the IVC stenosis model enhanced by back-branch ligation with serial imaging and statistical modeling to derive unified thrombus resolution metrics-proportional resolution rate and time to half-maximum thrombus volume-provides a robust methodological framework. This framework may facilitate the design of preclinical trials using these metrics as standardized outcome measures.
