Generation of platelet-derived microparticles through the activation of the toll-like receptor 4.

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
introductionInfection from different bacterial may increase the risk of thrombosis and atherosclerosis risk by production and secretion of many proinflammatory factors. Human platelets have toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), the principal receptor for lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The activation of platelet produces Platelet-derived Microparticles (PDMPs) measuring less than 1.0 micron (that are very abundant in circulation >90%), which are associated with the development of Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs), the leading cause of death in the world.
objectivesExperiments were designed to evaluate the generation of pro-thrombogenic microparticles in vitro on platelets via TLR4 activation.
methodsPlatelet-rich plasma and washed platelets from healthy volunteers were incubated for the generation of PDMPs. The best source for the generation of microparticles was washed platelets. Then the washed platelets were incubated for 15 minutes with ultrapure
resultsIncubating platelets with LPS (9 μg/mL) and ADP (1 μM) produced a 34-fold increase in PDMPs generation. Finally, we evaluated this protocol to detect the inhibition of PDMPs generation, washed platelets were incubated with acetylsalicylic acid (10 μM) and an inhibition of 7.7-fold in PDMPs generation for activation of TLR4 was found.
conclusionA new and easy protocol for PDMPs generation and analysis by Flow Cytometry is established. In the future it could be used to determine the association of PDMPs with different pathologies.
