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

introductionBeyond hemostasis and thrombosis, platelets are increasingly recognized as multifunctional cells involved in inflammation, vascular remodeling, and neurological diseases. Chronic cerebrovascular diseases impair cerebral blood flow and oxygen supply, leading to cognitive and motor dysfunction, where platelets may act as peripheral sensors reflecting neurovascular stress. This study investigated platelet activation profiles and platelet-leukocyte interactions in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (aICH), subacute intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH), and chronic cerebrovascular diseases (CCD).

methodsFlow cytometry was used to assess platelet functions, including PAC-1 (activated GPIIb/IIIa) and P-selectin (CD62P), and platelet-leukocyte aggregates, including myeloid-platelet, lymphocyte-platelet, and monocyte-platelet in 20 CCD, 20 aICH, 30 sICH patients, and 48 healthy controls.

resultsPAC-1 expression was significantly reduced in aICH and sICH but elevated in CCD, indicating impaired integrin activation in acute and subacute stages and compensatory hyperreactivity in chronic disease. P-selectin expression was markedly decreased in CCD under both ADP and TRAP stimulation, suggesting persistent α-granule dysfunction in chronic conditions. Lymphocyte-platelet aggregates, especially T-cell interactions, were consistently diminished across all patient groups, reflecting disturbed platelet-immune communication with T lymphocytes.

conclusionPatients with cerebrovascular disorders show distinct platelet activation patterns and impaired immune crosstalk. Reduced P-selectin expression and decreased lymphocyte-platelet aggregation, especially T-cell, indicate sustained platelet dysfunction and disrupted neuroinflammatory regulation. Flow cytometric assessment of these parameters provides valuable insight into neurovascular diseases at different stages and potential biomarkers for disease monitoring.
