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

Mature megakaryocytes, the platelet precursors, originate from hematopoietic stem cell progenitors, which, once committed to this lineage, undergo endomitosis leading to polyploidization. The process entails repeated rounds of DNA replication without cell division, yielding polyploid cells. Supporting the cell's developmental process and various cellular functions are integrin receptors, a conduit of communication between the extracellular environment and the cell actin cytoskeleton. Integrins are heterodimers of α and β subunits, where different combinations of the known 18 α and 8 β subunits confer specificity to the receptor. Integrin ligands range from extracellular matrices through soluble ligands, infectious agents, and counterreceptors, to cells. In this review, we describe the different integrins expressed on bone marrow megakaryocytes and their attributed roles in lineage development and cellular functions, including adhesion, spreading, proplatelet formation, and functional interaction with other cells. Pathologies associated with dysregulated megakaryocyte integrin expression are also reviewed.
