Platelets reprogram monocyte functions by secreting MMP-9 to benefit postoperative outcomes following acute aortic dissection.
Article in iScience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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 have a great ability to modulate immune responses. Monocyte-platelet aggregates (MPAs) are associated with the pathogenesis of cardiac disease. Notably, a low preoperative platelet count often indicates poor postoperative recovery following acute aortic dissection (AAD). The functions of platelets and MPAs in AAD, however, remain poorly understood. We found that, despite decreased platelet counts, platelets were also activated in AAD patients, with significant alterations in immune-modulating mediators. Of interest, monocytes in AAD patients had a suppressed immune status, which was correlated with poor outcomes following surgery. Interestingly, platelets preferentially aggregated with monocytes, and the levels of MPAs were related to recovery after surgical repair in AAD patients. Platelets restored suppressed monocyte functions in AAD patients by forming aggregates and partly by secreting matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9). Thus, the results point to a previously unknown mechanism for platelets involving monocyte reprogramming, which may improve postoperative outcomes following complex cardiovascular surgery.
