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

Beyond haemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognized for playing a crucial role in modulating immunoinflammation. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) constitute the first line of defence against infection and injury, with their engagement stimulating thrombotic and immune responses in platelets. Hence, anti-platelet drugs have been used to treat patients with infections and inflammation. However, due to the increased risk of bleeding with current anti-platelet drugs, alternative therapeutic targets need to be identified to ameliorate the consequences of inflammation-driven platelet hyperactivation. Previously, we demonstrated that resting platelets exhibit a metabolic plasticity that facilitates fuel selection flexibility, while in contrast, thrombin-stimulated platelets become highly glycolytic. Since multiple aspects of platelet activation require energy in terms of ATP, we investigated metabolic alterations in TLR1/TLR2-activated platelets. In this study, we have demonstrated that TLR1/TLR2-induced platelet activation reprogrammed platelets to upregulate glycolysis via CD36-linked mechanisms. In addition, we showed that this glycolytic flux is controlled by hexokinase (HK), which plays a crucial role in TLR1/TLR2-induced platelet aggregation. Targeting platelet metabolism plasticity may offer a novel strategy to inhibit platelet function in TLR-initiated diseases.
