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.

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.

Abstract

A State of the Art lecture titled "The role of platelets in sepsis" was presented at the ISTH congress in 2020. Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated and multifaceted host response to infection. Platelets play a significant role in the coordinated immune response to infection and therefore in the inflammation and coagulation dysfunction that contributes to organ damage in sepsis. Thrombocytopenia has a high incidence in sepsis, and it is a marker of poor prognosis. The genesis of thrombocytopenia is likely multifactorial, and unraveling the involved molecular mechanisms will allow development of biomarkers of platelet function in sepsis. Such platelet biomarkers can facilitate study of antiplatelet interventions as immunomodulatory treatment in sepsis. Finally, relevant new data on this topic presented during the 2020 ISTH virtual congress are reviewed.
