Fatty acids and TxA(2) generation, in the absence of platelet-COX-1 activity.
Article in Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
BACKGROUND AND
aimsOmega-3 fatty acids suppress Thromboxane A(2) (TxA(2)) generation via mechanisms independent to that of aspirin therapy. We sought to evaluate whether baseline omega-3 fatty acid levels influence arachidonic acid proven platelet-cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) independent TxA(2) generation (TxA(2) generation despite adequate aspirin use). METHODS AND
resultsSubjects with acute myocardial infarction, stable CVD or at high risk for CVD, on adequate aspirin therapy were included in this study. Adequate aspirin action was defined as complete inhibition of platelet-COX-1 activity as assessed by <10% change in light transmission aggregometry to ≥1 mmol/L arachidonic acid. TxA(2) production was measured via liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for the stable TxA(2) metabolite 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 (UTxB2) in urine. The relationship between baseline fatty acids, demographics and UTxB(2) were evaluated. Baseline omega-3 fatty acid levels were not associated with UTxB(2) concentration. However, smoking was associated with UTxB(2) in this study.
conclusionBaseline omega-3 fatty acid levels do not influence TxA(2) generation in patients with or at high risk for CVD receiving adequate aspirin therapy. The association of smoking and TxA(2) generation, in the absence of platelet COX-1 activity, among aspirin treated patients warrants further study.
