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

The three-dimensional configuration of the membrane system in human blood platelets following administration of cationized ferritin (CF) was reconstructed by means of thick serial sectioning in combination with high-voltage electron microscopy (HVEM). Surface-bound CF was rapidly internalized at 37 degrees C by the platelets, and a conglomerate of vacuolar and tubular structures containing CF was formed in their interior. Three-dimensional reconstruction of these incorporated membranous structures revealed that most of the internalized structures were interconnected with each other and that the number of sites at which they opened onto the cell surface was significantly reduced compared with the number found in intact platelets. In some cases, the openings completely disappeared. This may indicate that most of the internalized membranous structures originate from the open canalicular system (OCS), and that, following the incorporation of the ligand, the OCS gradually loses its connections with the surface membrane forming a conglomerate of the ligand-containing membranous structures in the interior of the platelet.
