Relation between platelet coagulant and vascular function, sex-specific analysis in adult survivors of childhood cancer compared to a population-based sample.
Article in Scientific reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Female sex is a risk factor for long-term adverse outcome in cancer survivors, however very little is known for the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms rendering the increased risk. This study investigated sex-specifically the relation between thrombin generation (TG) with and without presence of platelets and vascular function in 200 adult survivors of a childhood cancer compared to 335 population-based control individuals. TG lag time, peak height and endogenous thrombin potential (ETP) measured in presence and absence of platelets were correlated to reflection index (RI) and stiffness index (SI). A sex-specific correlation analysis showed a negative relation in female survivors for platelet-dependent peak height and/or ETP and RI only. An age adjusted linear regression model confirmed the negative association between RI and platelet-dependent ETP (beta estimate: -6.85, 95% confidence interval: -12.19,-1.51) in females. Adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors resulted in loss of the association, whereby arterial hypertension and obesity showed the largest effects on the observed association. No other relevant associations were found in male and female cancer survivors and all population-based controls. This study demonstrates a link between platelet coagulant and vascular function of resistance vessels, found in female cancer survivors, potentially mediated by the presence of arterial hypertension and obesity.
