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

introductionPlatelets play a crucial role in thrombotic episodes. Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is the primary indicator of platelet's activation; its measurement is easy and time-effective.

aimWe tested the hypothesis that MPV is correlated with SYNTAX score in patients that suffered from an Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). MATERIAL AND

methodsOne hundred and four (104) patients (79 male-25 female, mean age 64.2±11.1 years), who were hospitalized for an ACS and underwent coronary angiography, were included in the study. Syntax score, as an indicator of the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), was calculated. We tried to investigate the correlation between the first measured MPV, CRP, Creatinine and high sensitivity Troponin with the Syntax score of the patient and the association of MPV and a possible Major Advanced Cardiac Event (MACE) during hospitalization.

resultsThe patients were divided into four groups according to the SYNTAX score: Group A (SYNTAX score: 0, n=12), group B: Mild CAD (SYNTAX score: 1-22, n=68), group C: Moderate CAD (SYNTAX score: 23-32, n=12), and group D: Severe CAD (SYNTAX score: ≥ 33, n=12). Four patients (3.8%) developed a MACE during their hospitalization. MPV was significantly correlated to Syntax score (r=0.658, p<0.001) and was found to be an independent predictor factor of MACE with HR=6.8 (95% Confidence Interval 1.46-33.36). The cut-off value of MPV was 7.5 with a sensitivity of 98% and a specificity of 30.8%.

conclusionWe determined a positive correlation between MPV and Syntax score, transforming this simple test in a possible factor of risk stratification in ACS.
