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

backgroundApolipoprotein C3 (apoC3) circulates primarily on triglyceride-rich lipoproteins and promotes atherosclerosis by fostering lipidemia and inflammation. Thus, apoC3 represents an important cardiovascular risk factor and is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. Due to their dual nature as hemostatic and immunomodulatory effector cells, platelets play an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis and are responsible for thrombotic/thromboembolic events upon plaque rupture.

objectivesWe aimed to elucidate the impact of apoC3 on prothrombotic platelet functions.

methodsPlatelets were isolated from healthy volunteers and the effect of apoC3 on their activation and aggregation was assessed by flow cytometry, ELISA, and light transmission and multiple electrode aggregometry. Platelet spreading and cytoskeletal remodeling were examined by immunofluorescence microscopy. In vivo relevance was confirmed in a murine model of FeCl

resultsApoC3 strongly reduced platelet aggregation independently of the presence of plasma or other blood cells and impaired both α

conclusionWe identified apoC3 as lipoprotein-derived inhibitor of prothrombotic platelet functions, mediating antiaggregatory effects, likely via modulating AKT and VASP signaling and interfering with actin cytoskeleton remodeling to impair lamellipodia formation. Thus, apoC3 may counterbalance its proatherogenic properties on lipid metabolism and inflammation by dampening thrombotic risk in hyperlipidemia.
