Altered platelet-megakaryocyte endocytosis and trafficking of albumin and fibrinogen in RUNX1 haplodeficiency.
Article in Blood advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
abstractPlatelet α-granules have numerous proteins, some synthesized by megakaryocytes (MK) and others not synthesized but incorporated by endocytosis, an incompletely understood process in platelets/MK. Germ line RUNX1 haplodeficiency, referred to as familial platelet defect with predisposition to myeloid malignancies (FPDMMs), is associated with thrombocytopenia, platelet dysfunction, and granule deficiencies. In previous studies, we found that platelet albumin, fibrinogen, and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were decreased in a patient with FPDMM. We now show that platelet endocytosis of fluorescent-labeled albumin, fibrinogen, and IgG is decreased in the patient and his daughter with FPDMM. In megakaryocytic human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells, small interfering RNA RUNX1 knockdown (KD) increased uptake of these proteins over 24 hours compared with control cells, with increases in caveolin-1 and flotillin-1 (2 independent regulators of clathrin-independent endocytosis), LAMP2 (a lysosomal marker), RAB11 (a marker of recycling endosomes), and IFITM3. Caveolin-1 downregulation in RUNX1-deficient HEL cells abrogated the increased uptake of albumin, but not fibrinogen. Albumin, but not fibrinogen, partially colocalized with caveolin-1. RUNX1 KD resulted in increased colocalization of albumin with flotillin and fibrinogen with RAB11, suggesting altered trafficking of both proteins. The increased uptake of albumin and fibrinogen, as well as levels of caveolin-1, flotillin-1, LAMP2, and IFITM3, were recapitulated by short hairpin RNA RUNX1 KD in CD34+-derived MK. To our knowledge, these studies provide first evidence that platelet endocytosis of albumin and fibrinogen is impaired in some patients with RUNX1-haplodeficiency and suggest that megakaryocytes have enhanced endocytosis with defective trafficking, leading to loss of these proteins by distinct mechanisms. This study provides new insights into mechanisms governing endocytosis and α-granule deficiencies in RUNX1-haplodeficiency.
