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

Tumor-associated thrombosis is the second leading risk factor for cancer patient death, and platelets activity is abnormal in cancer patients. Discovering the mechanism of platelet activation and providing effective targets for therapy are urgently needed. Cancer cell- derived IgG has been reported to regulate development of tumors. However, studies on the functions of cancer cell-derived IgG are quite limited. Here we investigated the potential role of cancer cell-derived IgG in platelet activation. We detected the expression of CD62P on platelets by flow cytometry and analyzed platelet function by platelets aggregation and ATP release. The content of IgG in cancer cell supernatants was detected by enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay. The distribution of cancer-derived IgG in cancer cells was analyzed by immunofluorescence assay. Western blot was performed to quantify the relative expression of FcγRIIa, syk, PLCγ2. The interaction between cancer cell-derived IgG and platelet FcγRIIa was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation. The results showed that higher levels of CD62P were observed in cancer patients' platelets compared with that of healthy volunteers. Cancer cell culture supernatants increased platelet CD62P and PAC-1 expression, sensitive platelet aggregation and ATP release in response to agonists, while blocking FcγRIIa or knocking down IgG reduced the activation of platelets. Coimmunoprecipitation results showed that cancer cell-derived IgG interacted directly with platelet FcγRIIa. In addition, platelet FcγRIIa was highly expressed in liver cancer patients. In summary, cancer cell-derived IgG interacted directly with FcγRIIa and activated platelets; targeting this interaction may be an approach to prevent and treat tumor-associated thrombosis.
