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.

Abstract

introductionDespite optimal secondary prevention therapy following non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), recurrent thrombotic events are more frequent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS AND

methodsThis exploratory study was aimed to evaluate quantitative and qualitative aspects of thrombus. In 28 patients with and without T2DM treated with aspirin and clopidogrel we assessed thrombus quantity using an ex-vivo chamber, platelet reactivity, thrombus ultrastructure and thrombus kinetics one week after NSTE-ACS.

resultsT2DM was associated with increased thrombus [14861 (8003 to 30161) vs 8908 (6812 to 11996), μ(2)/mm, median (IQR), p=0.045] and platelet reactivity. In addition, diabetic thrombus showed lower visco-elastic tensile strength [(-0.2(-1.7 to 0.7) vs 1.0(-0.9 to 3.3), p=0.044)] and was more resistant to autolysis [(27.8(11.7 to 70.7) vs 78.8(68.5 to109.6) mm/min, p=0.002)]. On SEM, fibrin fibres in diabetes were thinner, with higher lateral interlinkage and mesh-like organisation. Thrombus quantity correlated inversely with thrombus retraction (r=-0.450 p=0.016) but not with platelet reactivity (r=0.153, p=0.544).

conclusionsDespite optimal antiplatelet therapy, T2DM patients after NSTE-ACS developed increased thrombus of lower tensile strength and slower retraction. SEM revealed loosely arranged fibrin fibres. Our data showed significant differences in the magnitude as well as structural and mechanistic characteristics of thrombus in patients with T2DM.
