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

backgroundPlatelets with high hemostatic activity play an important role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and mean platelet volume (MPV) has been proposed to be an indicator of platelet reactivity. We evaluated the predictive value of MPV and the responsive value of MPV with different antiplatelet agents in association with the clinical outcomes of ACS patients.

methodsA total of 1094 patients with ACS and 472 patients without ACS were included. Blood samples were taken at hospital admission, at routine follow-up within one year, and beyond one year. The patients were divided into a "high MPV group" (> 9.0 fl, n = 305), "medium MPV group" (7.9-9.0 fl, n = 517), and "low MPV group" (< 7.9 fl, n = 272). The average follow-up time was 2.4 years, and the endpoints were major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) including all-cause mortality, time to recurrent ACS, target vessel re-intervention and stroke.

resultsMPV was significantly higher in the patients with ACS than in those without ACS (8.6 ± 1.1 vs. 8.4 ± 1.0 fl, p = 0.007). MPV decreased in the following year (8.38 ± 1.02 fl, p < 0.001) and also beyond one year (8.38 ± 0.94 fl, p < 0.001) after ACS events. The changes in MPV were not significantly different between the patients receiving either clopidogrel or ticagrelor. The high MPV group had more cardiovascular risk factors and more MACEs than the low MPV group (p = 0.017).

conclusionsA higher MPV in patients with ACS was associated with more cardiovascular risk factors and more cardiovascular events during clinical follow-up.
