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: An increased risk of both venous and arterial thromboses in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) has been established epidemiologically and reported via case reports. However, the coagulation system is incompletely studied in patients with AN. Objectives: To investigate the coagulation profile in patients with AN by assessing the tissue factor (TF) and contact activation pathways in plasma and whole blood. Methods: In a cross-sectional case-control study, 40 female patients with AN and 40 healthy, age-matched, normal-weight controls were included. Plasma coagulation markers, Results: Patients with AN had significantly higher plasma concentrations of TF, prothrombin fragment 1+2, C1 inhibitor, and high-molecular-weight kininogen and reduced kallikrein generation. No group differences were found in thrombin generation or rotational thromboelastometry variables. Conclusion: In this comparative cross-sectional study, we found that patients with AN exhibit modest coagulation activation, characterized by elevated plasma TF and prothrombin fragment 1+2, alongside increased C1 inhibitor and reduced contact activation potential. This indicates that the balance between coagulation activators and inhibitors is generally maintained, but with an imbalance in the contact activation pathway that does not indicate a procoagulant state. The findings suggest a shift toward
