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

Coagulation Factor VIIa (FVIIa) lacks the ability to spontaneously complete the conversion to a fully active enzyme after specific cleavage of an internal peptide bond (Arg152-Ile153) in the zymogen. Recently, several variants of FVIIa with enhanced intrinsic activity have been constructed. The in vitro characterization of these variants has shed light on molecular determinants that put restrictions on FVIIa in favour of a zymogen-like conformation and warrants continued efforts. Here we describe a new FVIIa variant with high intrinsic activity containing the mutations Leu305-->Val, Ser314-->Glu, Lys337-->Ala, and Phe374-->Tyr. The variant, called FVIIa(VEAY), processes a tripeptidyl substrate very efficiently because of an unprecedented, 5.5-fold lowering of the K(m) value. Together with a 4-fold higher substrate turnover rate this gives the variant a catalytic efficiency 22 times that of wild-type FVIIa, which is reflected in a considerably enhanced susceptibility to inhibition by antithrombin and other inhibitors. For instance, the affinity of FVIIa(VEAY) for the S1 probe and inhibitor p -aminobenzamidine is represented by an 8-fold lower K(i) value compared with that of FVIIa. Activation of Factor X in solution occurs about 10 times faster with FVIIa(VEAY) than with FVIIa, due virtually exclusively to an increased kcat value. The high activity of FVIIa(VEAY) is not accompanied by an increased burial of the N-terminus of the protease domain. A comparison of the kinetic parameters and molecular properties of FVIIa(VEAY) with those of the previously described mutant V158D/E296V/M298Q-FVIIa (FVIIa(IIa)), and the locations of the substitutions in the two variants, reveals what appear to be two profoundly different structural mechanisms dictating improvements in enzymic performance.
