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

Receptors are important pharmacological targets on cells. The Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells (TREM) - Like Transcript - 1 is an abundant, yet little understood, platelet receptor. It is a single Ig domain containing receptor isolated in the α-granules of resting platelets and brought to the platelet surface upon activation. On platelets, the integrin αIIbβ3 is the major receptor having roughly 80,000 copies. αIIbβ3 is a heterodimeric multidomain structure that mediates platelet aggregation through its interaction with the plasma protein fibrinogen. Anti-platelet drugs have successfully targeted αIIbβ3 to control thrombosis. Like αIIbβ3, TLT-1 also binds fibrinogen, making its role in platelet function somewhat obscure. In this review, we highlight the known structural features of TLT-1 and present the challenges of understanding TLT-1 function. In our analysis of the dynamics of the platelet surface after activation we propose a model in which TLT-1 supports αIIbβ3 function as a mechanoreceptor that may direct platelets toward immune function.
