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

backgroundProtease activated receptor 4 (PAR4) is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) which is activated by proteolytic cleavage of its N-terminal exodomain. This generates a tethered ligand that activates the receptor and triggers downstream signaling events. With the current focus in the development of anti-platelet therapies shifted towards PARs, new reagents are needed for expanding the field's knowledge on PAR4. Currently, there are no PAR4 reagents which are able to detect activation of the receptor.

methodsMonoclonal PAR4 antibodies were purified from hybridomas producing antibody that were generated by fusing splenocytes with NS-1 cells. Immunoblotting, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry were utilized to detect the epitope for each antibody and to evaluate the interaction of the antibodies with cells.

resultsHere, we report the successful generation of three monoclonal antibodies to the N-terminal extracellular domain of PAR4: 14H6, 5F10, and 2D6. We mapped the epitope on PAR4 of 14H6, 5F10, and 2D6 antibodies to residues (48-53), (41-47), and (73-78), respectively. Two of the antibodies (14H6 and 5F10) interacted close to the thrombin cleavage and were sensitive to α-thrombin cleavage of PAR4. In addition, 5F10 was able to partially inhibit the cleavage of PAR4 expressed in HEK293 cells by α-thrombin.

conclusionsThese new antibodies provide a means to monitor endogenous PAR4 expression and activation by proteases on cells.
