Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 68 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Stroke is a common and often fatal event, and, in survivors, it is accompanied by a high risk of recurrence. Ischemic stroke is associated with abnormal platelet activity and thrombus formation. In addition to their roles in the development of acute thrombi, platelets serve as a bridge for leukocytes within the vasculature. Myeloid leukocytes are critical mediators of atherosclerosis and atherothrombosis. Interactions between platelets and leukocytes foster an inflammatory and thrombotic milieu that influences lesion progression, facilitates plaque rupture, and triggers thrombus formation and embolization. Accordingly, antiplatelet agents, including aspirin, dipyridamole, and clopidogrel, are recommended therapies for most patients with a history of stroke. In addition to mitigating thrombosis, antiplatelet drugs have direct and indirect effects on inflammation, which may translate to enhanced clinical efficacy.
