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 clotting characteristics of autologous whole blood clots for chronic wound management in patients on anticoagulant therapy are not well defined. An exploratory ex vivo study was performed using the ActiGraft autologous whole blood clot (RedDress Ltd, Haifa, Israel) in patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy. Twenty-five participants were eligible for inclusion and stratified into three age-matched cohorts: vitamin K antagonist-warfarin (n = 9), factor Xa inhibitor- rivaroxaban (n = 6), and controls not receiving anticoagulation (n = 10). The primary endpoint was clot formation time. Clot formation time was defined as the time point at which no fluid movement was observed. In the study population (median [interquartile range] age 47 [42-52] years), the mean clot formation time was 10.5 ± 2.6 min (reference:8-12 min). Mean clot formation time was significantly different across groups (p < 0.001). Compared with controls (8.4 ± 1.2 min), clot formation time was significantly prolonged in both the warfarin group (11.3 ± 2.3 min; p < 0.002) and the rivaroxaban group (12.7 ± 2.4 min; p < 0.001), with no significant difference between anticoagulant groups (p = 0.297). Nonetheless, complete, stable clots were consistently formed within the expected time frame in all samples across all groups. This illustrates the feasibility of ActiGraft autologous whole blood clot in patients receiving therapeutic anticoagulation. Further studies are indicated in patients with chronic wounds to assess broader safety and efficacy.
