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

A prevailing dogma is that inhibition of vascular thrombosis by antagonizing platelet integrin αIIbβ3 cannot be achieved without compromising hemostasis, thus causing serious bleeding and increased morbidity and mortality. It is speculated that these adverse outcomes result from drug-induced activating conformational changes in αIIbβ3 but direct proof is lacking. Here, we report the structure-guided design of peptide Hr10 and a modified form of the partial agonist drug tirofiban that act as "pure" antagonists of αIIbβ3, i.e., they no longer induce the conformational changes in αIIbβ3. Both agents inhibit human platelet aggregation but preserve clot retraction. Hr10 and modified tirofiban are as effective as partial agonist drugs in inhibiting vascular thrombosis in humanized mice, but neither causes serious bleeding, establishing a causal link between partial agonism and impaired hemostasis. Pure orthosteric inhibitors of αIIbβ3 may thus provide safer alternatives for human therapy, and valuable tools to probe structure-activity relationships in integrins.
