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

The physiologic roles of the class II phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and their contributions to phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI3P) and PI(3,4)P2 production remain elusive. Here we report that mice heterozygous for a constitutively kinase-dead PI3K-C2α display aberrant platelet morphology with an elevated number of barbell-shaped proplatelets, a recently discovered intermediate stage in the final process of platelet production. Platelets with heterozygous PI3K-C2α inactivation have critical defects in α-granules and membrane structure that are associated with modifications in megakaryocytes. These platelets are more rigid and unable to form filopodia after stimulation. Heterozygous PI3K-C2α inactivation in platelets led to a significant reduction in the basal pool of PI3P and a mislocalization of several membrane skeleton proteins known to control the interactions between the plasma membrane and cytoskeleton. These alterations had repercussions on the performance of platelet responses with delay in the time of arterial occlusion in an in vivo model of thrombosis and defect in thrombus formation in an ex vivo blood flow system. These data uncover a key role for PI3K-C2α activity in the generation of a basal housekeeping PI3P pool and in the control of membrane remodeling, critical for megakaryocytopoiesis and normal platelet production and function.
