Anti-platelet and tissue engineering approaches to biomaterial blood compatibilization: how well have these been translated into the clinic?
Article in Drug delivery and translational research, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
In this article, we provide an update on the various approaches to "blood compatibilization", and include both passive and active approaches to compatibilizing biomaterials in contact with blood. Broadly speaking, the surface modification approaches involved either repel platelets or attract endothelial cells. For platelet-repelling surfaces, heparin immobilization seems to be the most successful approach. At least two such surfaces have been approved by the health authorities in various countries for applications involving short-term contact with blood. For active endothelialization, ex vivo seeding with autologous cells has been translated into the clinic, while selective endothelial cell capture is a promising approach. In spite of over 30 years of research in this area, a truly intrinsically non-clotting surface has not been developed yet; certain promising avenues have been indicated by the research, which we will critically assess here.
