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

Patients on mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices are placed on aspirin and may require platelet function testing (PFT) to monitor the adequacy of therapy. Routine laboratory PFT is performed using whole blood aggregation (WBA) which typically has a long turnaround time (4-5 hours) and may not be readily available. By contrast, platelet mapping by thromboelastography (TPM) can provide results within 45 minutes. The objective of this study was to compare the results of TPM with WBA. We compared platelet mapping maximal amplitude (MA) by TPM with that of arachidonic acid (AA) to WBA with AA by impedance. We analyzed paired samples where both TPM and WBA were available. Of 45 paired samples, 34 were from 29 MCS patients and 11 were from non-MCS patients. When applying institutional interpretation guidelines with an MA
