Indications of platelet indices in coronary artery disease (CAD): more insights into their diagnostic and prognostic importance.
Review in Journal of thrombosis and thrombolysis, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
As a readily available analysis, the complete blood count (CBC) has interpretative value and provides useful information about diseases, their differential diagnosis, and prognosis. Considering the crucial role of platelets in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), examining their morphological changes can also be of particular interest. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the importance of interpreting platelet indices in coronary artery disease (CAD) and to provide appropriate explanations of the mechanisms behind changes in these parameters. To this end, the study presented here first introduces platelet indices obtained from automated blood cell counters, including mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), and immature platelet fraction (IPF), while highlighting their interpretative significance in different disease states. This review then continues by discussing and interpreting the parameters mentioned in CAD using previously published data. Since the pathogenesis of CAD is related to various conditions, including inflammatory status, biomechanical forces (caused by non-physiological shear stress), and extracorporeal interventions (particularly during on pump Coronary-artery bypass grafting), despite controversies, changes in platelet indices caused by each of these factors have been proposed as useful markers for monitoring the disease status and its prognosis. Taken together, this review first presents scientific hypotheses to justify the diagnostic value of conventional platelet parameters in CAD patients, while highlighting their prognostic importance under different conditions of disease. The present study also extends its discussion to some neglected analytical parameters, including platelet histogram and its interpretations to further validate the other well-known platelet parameters.
