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

backgroundPlatelet activation is involved in acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Incomplete suppression by low-dose aspirin treatment of thromboxane (TX) metabolite excretion (urinary 11-dehydro-TXB2) is predictive of vascular events in high-risk patients. Myeloid-related protein (MRP)-8/14 is a heterodimer secreted on activation of platelets, monocytes, and neutrophils, regulating inflammation and predicting cardiovascular events. Among platelet transcripts, MRP-14 has emerged as a powerful predictor of ACS. METHODS AND

resultsWe enrolled 68 stable ischemic heart disease (IHD) and 63 ACS patients, undergoing coronary angiography, to evaluate whether MRP-8/14 release in the circulation is related to TX-dependent platelet activation in ACS and IHD patients and to residual TX biosynthesis in low-dose aspirin-treated ACS patients. In ACS patients, plasma MRP-8/14 and urinary 11-dehydro-TXB2 levels were linearly correlated (r=0.651, P<0.001) but significantly higher than those in IHD patients (P=0.012, P=0.044) only among subjects not receiving aspirin. In aspirin-treated ACS patients, MRP-8/14 and 11-dehydro-TXB2 were lower versus those not receiving aspirin (P<0.001) and still significantly correlated (r=0.528, P<0.001). Higher 11-dehydro-TXB2 significantly predicted higher MRP-8/14 in both all ACS patients and ACS receiving aspirin (P<0.001, adj R(2)=0.463 and adj R(2)=0.497) after multivariable adjustment. Conversely, plasma MRP-8/14 (P<0.001) and higher urinary 8-iso-prostaglandin F2α (P=0.050) levels were significant predictors of residual, on-aspirin, TX biosynthesis in ACS (adjusted R(2)=0.384).

conclusionsCirculating MRP-8/14 is associated with TX-dependent platelet activation in ACS, even during low-dose aspirin treatment, suggesting a contribution of residual TX to MRP-8/14 shedding, which may further amplify platelet activation. Circulating MRP-8/14 may be a target to test different antiplatelet strategies in ACS.
