Two classes of anti-platelet drugs reduce anatomical infarct size in monkey hearts.

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
backgroundRecent studies in rabbits have demonstrated that platelet P2Y12 receptor antagonists are cardioprotective, and that the mechanism is surprisingly not related to blockade of platelet aggregation but rather to triggering of the same signal transduction pathway seen in pre- and postconditioning. We wanted to determine whether this same cardioprotection could be documented in a primate model and whether the protection was limited to P2Y12 receptor antagonists or was a class effect.
methodsThirty-one macaque monkeys underwent 90-min LAD occlusion/4-h reperfusion.
resultsThe platelet P2Y12 receptor blocker cangrelor started just prior to reperfusion significantly decreased infarction by an amount equivalent to that seen with ischemic postconditioning (p < 0.001). For any size of risk zone, infarct size in treated hearts was significantly smaller than that in control hearts. OM2, an investigational murine antibody against the primate collagen receptor glycoprotein (GP) VI, produced similar protection (p < 0.01) suggesting a class effect. Both cangrelor and OM2 were quite effective at blocking platelet aggregation (94 % and 97 %, respectively).
conclusionsThus in a primate model in which infarct size could be determined directly platelet anti-aggregatory agents are cardioprotective. The important implication of these investigations is that patients with acute myocardial infarction who are treated with platelet anti-aggregatory agents prior to revascularization may already be in a postconditioned state. This hypothesis may explain why in recent clinical trials postconditioning-mimetic interventions which were so protective in animal models had at best only a modest effect.
