Evaluation of clopidogrel impact on canine platelet function using flow cytometry and thromboelastography platelet mapping.
Article in Frontiers in veterinary science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Clopidogrel is frequently used in veterinary medicine to therapeutically decrease platelet function, although some different dosages have been published. Therefore, we assessed the antiplatelet effects of the recommended dosage (1 mg/kg PO q24h) on canine platelet function. Methods: Five dogs were administered either clopidogrel or placebo, with a 14-day washout period. Platelet function was assessed using thromboelastography (TEG) and flow cytometry, complete blood count, and biochemical analyses were performed for clinicopathological evaluation. Blood samples were collected at baseline and 7 days after drug administration. TEG parameters including maximum amplitude and platelet mapping for adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-induced responses were used to monitor therapeutic efficacy. Flow cytometry was used to analyze CD62P expression and platelet activation stimulated by ADP and other agonists. Results: TEG analysis demonstrated a significant reduction in ADP-induced clot strength following clopidogrel administration ( Conclusion: This study confirmed the efficacy of low-dose (1 mg/kg, p.o., q24h) clopidogrel in dogs without a loading dose. TEG and flow cytometry are effective tools for assessing clopidogrel responsiveness in dogs and may aid in optimizing antiplatelet therapy in clinical practice.
