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

backgroundTo confirm the activation of platelets (PLT) and explore the role of activated PLT in post-dissection inflammation.

methodAn acute type A aortic dissection (AAD) canine model was established. Mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPV/PTC), platelet size distribution width (PDW), and inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α [TNF-α] and interleukin-6 [IL-6]) were measured between anesthetization and thoracotomy (T1), at the end of the operation (T2), and at 2 h (T3), 4 h (T4), and 6 h (T5) after the operation. Bivariate analysis was used to determine the correlations between the peak MPV/PTC, PDW, and inflammatory cytokines at T4.

resultAn AAD canine model was successfully established. Both MPV/PTC and PDW values were significantly higher at T3-T5 than at T1 (P < 0.05). Both were also significantly higher at T3-T5 in the dissection group than in the sham operation (SO) group (P < 0.05). Inflammatory cytokine levels were remarkably higher at T3-T5 than at T1, and were higher at T3-T5 in both the dissection and the SO group (P < 0.05). Bivariate analysis demonstrated positive correlations between MPV/PTC and both TNF-α (r = 0.826, P = 0.011) and IL-6 (r = 0.806, P = 0.016).

conclusionActivated PLT were identified after AAD, and played a critical role in the initiation of post-dissection inflammation.
