Platelet Apoptosis in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease Before and After CABG.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2026. 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
Cardiovascular diseases have been one of the leading causes of death worldwide for over 30 years and coronary artery disease occupies a prominent place among them. Predicting the long-term outcome after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) is still a challenging task; however, since platelets are directly involved in the course of the disease, their functional status can help predict postoperative complications. The objective was to evaluate the dynamics of platelet apoptosis before and after CABG. The study involved 30 patients with a scheduled CABG suffering from coronary artery disease. Flow cytometry, Western blot and polymerase chain reaction were used to evaluate apoptosis and the activation of platelets. Changes in platelet membranes and the depolarization of mitochondrial membranes were observed, as well as the expression of active caspase 8 and BCL-2, indicating the activation of apoptosis through an extrinsic receptor-dependent signaling pathway. The data obtained suggest significant changes in platelet metabolic processes, which could play a crucial role in the development of coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis as well as being associated with postoperative complications.
