Mean Platelet Volume and Its Association With In-Hospital Outcomes in Patients With Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

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
Background Mean platelet volume (MPV), reflecting platelet size and activation, has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and mortality. Yet, its prognostic significance in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains uncertain. This study investigates whether elevated MPV levels upon admission in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients predict adverse in-hospital outcomes after primary PCI. Objectives The aim of this study was to measure MPV in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI and to evaluate its association with in-hospital outcomes such as death, recurrent myocardial infarction, heart failure, and bleeding. Methods We enrolled 400 consecutive patients with STEMI (mean age 56.20 years, 356 males, 44 females) who underwent primary PCI at our center. We obtained MPV values from complete blood count tests performed at admission. We divided the patients into two groups based on the normal MPV range of 7.40 to 12 fL. We compared the baseline characteristics and in-hospital outcomes of the two groups. We used Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to adjust for potential confounders and evaluate the impact of MPV on in-hospital outcomes. Results There was no significant difference in MPV values between the two groups (9.10 ± 1.20 fL vs. 9.00 ± 1.10 fL, p = 0.54). Patients who died exhibited higher age, male predominance, hypertension, diabetes, a lower left ventricular ejection fraction, lower levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and lower levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit compared to survivors. MPV was not associated with any of the in-hospital outcomes in the unadjusted or adjusted analyses. Conclusion In this cohort of patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI, admission MPV was not a predictor of in-hospital outcomes. Further studies are needed to clarify the role of MPV in the pathophysiology and prognosis of ACS.
