Ex Vivo Antiplatelet Effects of Oral Anticoagulants.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular development and disease, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe impact of non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) on platelet function is still unclear. We conducted a comprehensive ex vivo study aimed at assessing the effect of the four currently marketed NOACs on platelet function.
methodsWe incubated blood samples from healthy donors with concentrations of NOACs (50, 150 and 250 ng/mL), in the range of those achieved in the plasma of patients during therapy. We evaluated generation of thrombin; light transmittance platelet aggregation (LTA) in response to adenosine diphosphate (ADP), thrombin receptor-activating peptide (TRAP), human γ-thrombin (THR) and tissue factor (TF); generation of thromboxane (TX)B
resultsAll NOACs concentration-dependently reduced thrombin generation compared with control. THR-induced LTA was suppressed by the addition of dabigatran at any concentration, while TF-induced LTA was reduced by factor-Xa inhibitors. ADP- and TRAP-induced LTA was not modified by NOACs. TXB
conclusionsTreatment with the NOACs is associated with measurable ex vivo changes in platelet function, arguing for antiplatelet effects beyond the well-known anticoagulant activities of these drugs. There are differences, however, among the NOACs, especially between dabigatran and the FXa inhibitors.
