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

Factor XIa (fXIa) is being recognized as a prime target for developing safer anticoagulants. To discover synthetic, small, allosteric inhibitors of fXIa, we screened an in-house, unique library of 65 molecules displaying many distinct scaffolds and varying levels of sulfation. Of these, monosulfated benzofurans were the only group of molecules found to inhibit fXIa (∼100% efficacy) and led to the identification of monosulfated trimer 24 (IC50 0.82 μM) as the most potent inhibitor. Michaelis-Menten kinetics studies revealed a classic noncompetitive mechanism of action for 24. Although monosulfated, the inhibitors did not compete with unfractionated heparin alluding to a novel site of interaction. Fluorescence quenching studies indicated that trimer 24 induces major conformational changes in the active site of fXIa. Docking studies identified a site near Lys255 on the A3 domain of fXIa as the most probable site of binding for 24. Factor XIa devoid of the A3 domain displayed a major defect in the inhibition potency of 24 supporting the docking prediction. Our work presents the sulfated benzofuran scaffold as a promising framework to develop allosteric fXIa inhibitors that likely function through the A3 domain.
