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

Although their central role is to control bleeding and to induce thrombosis, platelets are important inflammatory and immune cells as well as modulators of angiogenesis. This review focuses on the different roles of platelets in hemostasis, thrombosis, inflammation, arteriosclerosis, angiogenesis, antimicrobial host defense and hematogenous tumor metastasis. Platelets are the central regulators of hemostasis. On their surface the important thrombin burst takes place. Platelets cause atherothrombotic vascular occlusions. However, they are probably involved in early stages of arteriosclerosis, e.g. extravasation of leukocytes at sites of vascular injury, formation of foam cells and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. These processes are triggered by secretion of proinflammatory substances and growth factors as well as by platelet-cell interactions via specific adhesive axes. During infections platelets kill pathogens through secretion of antimicrobial substances and extracellular traps or nets. Platelets facilitate the revascularisation of ischemic tissue and therefore even promote tumor growth.
