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

backgroundPlatelet activation relies on changes in cytoplasmic calcium flux. However, little is known about the role mitochondrial calcium flux plays in platelet activation. Activation induces release of calcium from intracellular stores, which enters the mitochondrial matrix through the MCU (mitochondrial calcium uniporter) to regulate bioenergetics and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation, as demonstrated in other cells. However, whether MCU contributes to platelet function is unclear.

methodsWe generated platelet-specific Mcu-deficient mice (

results

conclusionsOur data support a role for mitochondrial calcium flux in regulating ITAM-dependent platelet activation through the generation of mitochondrial ROS.
