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

The development of blood-wetted artificial organs is limited by thrombosis on synthetic biomaterial surfaces. In contrast, the endothelium of the vasculature creates a natural barrier to both thrombosis and pannus growth. Consequently, efforts have been made to endothelialize synthetic biomaterials used in blood-wetted devices. Therefore, this study was undertaken to provide a numerical model to simulate the inhibitory effects of EC-derived nitric oxide (NO) on platelet deposition. An existing multi-constituent continuum model of thrombosis was amended to incorporate shear-dependent generation of NO as an anticoagulant. A simulation was performed of blood flow through a bipartite parallel plate channel having an endothelialized upstream layer followed by a pro-coagulant collagen surface downstream. The simulation showed that endothelial-derived NO inhibited downstream platelet deposition, reducing thrombus growth and creating a thrombus-free zone immediately downstream. This enhanced simulation model of thrombosis provides insights into factors that may guide future endothelialization of artificial organs and other blood-wetted devices.
