Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: measurement of effect on platelet function.
Trial report in Translational research : the journal of laboratory and clinical medicine, 2008. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 35 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) reduce platelet serotonin and are associated with increased gastrointestinal bleeding, an effect that is enhanced when taken with NSAIDs or aspirin. The best method to evaluate hemorrhagic events in patients taking SSRIs has not been determined. Platelet aggregation, which is not widely available, shows SSRI inhibition of platelet function; we tested whether a platelet function analyzer could detect SSRI inhibition of platelet function. Two groups of outpatients with mood disorders were recruited; each patient was taking a stable dose of either an SSRI or bupropion for at least 6 weeks. They were tested using the platelet function analyzer-100 (PFA-100; Dade International Inc, Miami, Fla) concomitantly with platelet aggregation. Fifty-eight patients were analyzed. We detected significant differences between the groups using aggregation methods with arachidonic acid (aggregation, P = 0.00001; release, P = 0.009) and collagen (aggregation, P = 0.016; release, P = 0.006). The PFA-100 did not detect differences between the groups or results outside the reference range. The PFA-100 does not detect the inhibitory effects of SSRIs on platelet function, but it can be used to direct evaluation of bleeding in a patient taking an SSRI. Abnormal PFA-100 results suggest additional evaluation for von Willebrand disease, other platelet inhibitory medications, or underlying intrinsic platelet dysfunction.
