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

purposeP-selectin receptor is expressed in platelets and endothelial cells in a cell-activation-dependent manner. Platelet P-selectin (CD62) levels may become elevated in a number of vasoocclusive diseases, including arteriosclerosis, atherothrombosis, and diabetes mellitus (DM). Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) is associated with a sudden loss of vision due to the vascular insufficiency of ciliary arteries supplying the optic nerve. In this study, our aim was to investigate the presence of increased platelet reactivity in the development of NAION.

methodsTwenty-one NAION patients, 39 healthy control subjects, and 44 patients suffering from diabetes mellitus (DM) were examined in our case-control, pilot study. Platelet activation was investigated by flow cytometric analysis of the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) of CD62 on platelets. These results were compared among the different study groups.

resultsNAION patients showed considerably although not significantly (p = 0.2017) higher P-selectin MFI values (71.98 ± 40.30) versus healthy subjects (55.48 ± 20.95), insulin-dependent DM patients (50.02 ± 13.08), and non-insulin-dependent DM subjects (54.72 ± 24.74). However, logistic regression analysis resulted in a statistically significant adjusted effect on the odds of NAION when CD62 MFI values were logarithmically transformed (OR: 3.86, 95 % CI: 1.10 to 13.53, p = 0.0346).

conclusionElevated platelet CD62 positivity may be related to NAION, suggesting a possible role of enlarged platelet activity in the generation of this type of ischemic optic neuropathy.
