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

Essentials Phosphoinositide 3-kinase and MAPK pathways crosstalk via PDK1. PDK1 is required for adenosine diphosphate-induced platelet activation and thromboxane generation. PDK1 regulates RAF proto-oncogene Ser/Thr kinase (Raf1) activation in the MAPK pathway. Genetic ablation of PDK1 protects against platelet-dependent thrombosis in vivo. SUMMARY: Background Platelets are dynamic effector cells with functions that span hemostatic, thrombotic and inflammatory continua. Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1) regulates protease-activated receptor 4-induced platelet activation and thrombus formation through glycogen synthase kinase3β. However, whether PDK1 also signals through the ADP receptor and its functional importance in vivo remain unknown. Objective To establish the mechanism of PDK1 in ADP-induced platelet activation and thrombosis. Methods We assessed the role of PDK1 on 2MeSADP-induced platelet activation by measuring aggregation, thromboxane generation and phosphorylation events in the presence of BX-795, which inhibits PDK1, or by using platelet-specific PDK1 knockout mice and performing western blot analysis. PDK1 function in thrombus formation was assessed with an in vivo pulmonary embolism model. Results PDK1 inhibition with BX-795 reduced 2-methylthio-ADP (2MeSADP)-induced aggregation of human and murine platelets by abolishing thromboxane generation. Similar results were observed in pdk1
