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

Protein S (PS) is a cofactor for activated protein C (APC), which inactivates coagulation factors (F) Va and VIIIa. Deficiency of protein C or PS is associated with risk of thrombosis. We found that PS also has APC-independent anticoagulant activity (PS-direct) and directly inhibits thrombin generated by FXa/FVa (prothrombinase complex). Here we report that PS contains Zn(2+) that is required for PS-direct and that is lost during certain purification procedures. Immunoaffinity-purified PS contained 1.4 +/- 0.6 Zn(2+)/mol, whereas MonoQ-purified and commercial PS contained 0.15 +/- 0.15 Zn(2+)/mol. This may explain the controversy regarding the validity of PS-direct. Zn(2+) content correlated positively with PS-direct in prothrombinase assays and clotting assays, but APC-cofactor activity of PS was independent of Zn(2+) content. PS-direct and Zn(2+) were restored to inactive PS under mildly denaturing conditions. Conversely, o-phenanthroline reversibly impaired the PS-direct of active PS. Zn(2+)-containing PS bound FXa more efficiently (K(d)(app)=9.3 nM) than Zn(2+)-deficient PS (K(d)(app)=110 nM). PS bound TFPI efficiently, independently of Zn(2+) content (K(d)(app)=21 nM). Antibodies that block PS-direct preferentially recognized Zn(2+)-containing PS, suggesting conformation differences at or near the interface of 2 laminin G-like domains near the PS C terminus. Thus, Zn(2+) is required for PS-direct and efficient FXa binding and may play a role in stabilizing PS conformation.
