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
Platelets play a critical role in hemostasis. In addition to adhesion at the site of injury, phosphatidylserine (PS) exposing platelets (procoagulant) bind activated factor VIII (FVIIIa), facilitating coagulation. Effects of FVIIIa-platelet interactions on platelet activity are unclear. We explored how FVIIIa-platelet interactions affect their transition from a proaggregatory to procoagulant phenotype and how molecular modifications of recombinant FVIII (rFVIII) products might tune this phenotype shift. Platelets were collected from healthy donors and people with severe hemophilia A (HA) and were activated with thrombin and collagen-related peptide. Integrin αIIbβ3 activity and PS exposure were measured as markers of proaggregatory and procoagulant activities, respectively. Platelet phenotypes, rFVIIIa binding, and calcium influx were assessed by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy. rFVIIIa binding potentiated procoagulant activity while having no appreciable effect on percentage of platelets with activated integrin αIIbβ3. Potentiation of procoagulant activity was mediated by a thrombin-independent outside-in signaling cascade but involved integrin αIIbβ3. Similar trends were observed in platelets from healthy donors and patients with HA. A potential role of glycoprotein VI in rFVIIIa-platelet interactions was identified. rFVIIIa products with certain modifications to extend the circulation half-life of FVIII showed reduced binding to proaggregatory platelets compared to nonmodified rFVIIIa. Binding to procoagulant platelets was comparable across rFVIII products, except for rFVIII with site-specific PEGylation, which showed reduced binding. In conclusion, these results offer insights into FVIIIa-platelet interactions, and the potential impact of rFVIII modifications on platelet binding may inform clinical decision-making in HA.
