A study of association between platelet volume indices and ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Article in International journal of cardiology. Heart & vasculature, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectiveST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is caused by formation of a thrombus at a ruptured atheromatous plaque. Larger platelets are enzymatically and metabolically more active and play a crucial role in thrombus formation. Our objective was to study the association between platelet volume indices (mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW)) and STEMI.
methodsA hospital-based case control study to compare the platelet indices of 52 STEMI patients before commencing antiplatelet therapy and age and gender matched 52 controls who had no history of ischemic heart disease or antiplatelet therapy. Blood samples were collected to EDTA bottles and analyzed using Mindray BC 6800 automated analyzer.
resultsSTEMI patients had significantly increased mean MPV and PDW compared to the control group ((8.22 ± 0.99 fL vs 7.74 ± 0.69 fL,
conclusionIncreased MPV and PDW were found to have a significant association with STEMI and this test has the potential to be used as a preliminary test to identify high-risk patient for myocardial infarction.
