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

backgroundPatients with COVID-19 are at increased risk of thrombosis, which is associated with altered platelet function and coagulopathy, contributing to excess mortality.

objectivesTo characterize the mechanism of altered platelet function in COVID-19 patients.

methodsThe platelet proteome, platelet functional responses, and platelet-neutrophil aggregates were compared between patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and healthy control subjects using tandem mass tag proteomic analysis, Western blotting, and flow cytometry.

resultsCOVID-19 patients showed a different profile of platelet protein expression (858 altered of the 5773 quantified). Levels of COVID-19 plasma markers were enhanced in the platelets of COVID-19 patients. Gene ontology pathway analysis demonstrated that the levels of granule secretory proteins were raised, whereas those of platelet activation proteins, such as the thrombopoietin receptor and protein kinase Cα, were lowered. Basally, platelets of COVID-19 patients showed enhanced phosphatidylserine exposure, with unaltered integrin α

conclusionsOverall, our data suggest the presence of 2 platelet populations in patients with COVID-19: one of circulating platelets with an altered proteome and reduced functional responses and another of P-selectin-expressing neutrophil-associated platelets. Platelet-driven thromboinflammation may therefore be one of the key factors enhancing the risk of thrombosis in COVID-19 patients.
