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

Platelets are highly sensitive blood cells, which play central role in hemostasis and thrombosis. Platelet dense granules carry considerable amount of neurotransmitter glutamate that is exocytosed upon cell activation. As platelets also express glutamate receptors on their surface, it is pertinent to ask whether exposure to glutamate would affect their signalling within a growing thrombus. In this study we demonstrate that, glutamate per se induced synthesis of thrombogenic peptides, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 and hypoxia-inducible factor-2α, from pre-existing mRNAs in enucleate platelets, stimulated cytosolic calcium entry, upregulated RhoA-ROCK-myosin light chain/myosin light chain phosphatase axis, and elicited extensive shedding of extracellular vesicles from platelets. Glutamate, too, incited platelet spreading and adhesion on to immobilized matrix under arterial shear, raised mitochondrial transmembrane potential associated with generation of reactive oxygen species and induced activation of AMP-activated protein kinase in platelets. Taken together, glutamate switches human platelets to pro-activation phenotype mediated mostly through AMPA receptors and thus targeting glutamate receptors may be a promising anti-platelet strategy.
