GRK2 regulates ADP signaling in platelets via P2Y1 and P2Y12.
Article in Blood advances, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
The critical role of G protein-coupled receptor kinase 2 (GRK2) in regulating cardiac function has been well documented for >3 decades. Targeting GRK2 has therefore been extensively studied as a novel approach to treating cardiovascular disease. However, little is known about its role in hemostasis and thrombosis. We provide here the first evidence that GRK2 limits platelet activation and regulates the hemostatic response to injury. Deletion of GRK2 in mouse platelets causes increased platelet accumulation after laser-induced injury in the cremaster muscle arterioles, shortens tail bleeding time, and enhances thrombosis in adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-induced pulmonary thromboembolism and in FeCl3-induced carotid injury. GRK2-/- platelets have increased integrin activation, P-selectin exposure, and platelet aggregation in response to ADP stimulation. Furthermore, GRK2-/- platelets retain the ability to aggregate in response to ADP restimulation, indicating that GRK2 contributes to ADP receptor desensitization. Underlying these changes in GRK2-/- platelets is an increase in Ca2+ mobilization, RAS-related protein 1 activation, and Akt phosphorylation stimulated by ADP, as well as an attenuated rise of cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels in response to ADP in the presence of prostaglandin I2. P2Y12 antagonist treatment eliminates the phenotypic difference in platelet accumulation between wild-type and GRK2-/- mice at the site of injury. Pharmacologic inhibition of GRK2 activity in human platelets increases platelet activation in response to ADP. Finally, we show that GRK2 binds to endogenous Gβγ subunits during platelet activation. Collectively, these results show that GRK2 regulates ADP signaling via P2Y1 and P2Y12, interacts with Gβγ, and functions as a signaling hub in platelets for modulating the hemostatic response to injury.
