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

Essentials von Willebrand factor (VWF) is synthesized in endothelial cells and platelet precursors. Type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24 have lower bleeding scores than other type 3s. The Pro2808Leufs*24 variant was examined in patient platelets and endothelial cells. Type 3s with this variant contain releaseable VWF, possibly reducing bleeding. SUMMARY: Background A novel variant, p.Pro2808Leufs*24, in the von Willebrand factor (VWF) gene was previously identified in the Canadian von Willebrand disease (VWD) patient population. Clinical observations of type 3 VWD patients with this variant indicate a milder bleeding phenotype compared with other type 3 patients. Objective To assess the effect of the Pro2808Leufs*24 variant on the molecular pathogenesis of VWD and correlate this with the phenotype observed in patients. Patients/Methods Phenotypic data from individuals in the Canadian type 3 VWD study were analyzed. VWF expression in platelets and plasma was assessed via immunoblotting. Cellular expression of VWF in platelets and blood outgrowth endothelial cells (BOEC) was examined via immunofluorescence microscopy and biochemical analysis in a type 3 index case and family member with Pro2808Leufs*24. Results Twenty-six individuals with the Pro2808Leufs*24 variant (16 type 3 VWD homozygous or compound heterozygous and 10 heterozygous family members) were studied. Bleeding scores were lower in type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24 compared with type 3 patients with other variants, confirming a milder bleeding phenotype. Immunoblotting of platelet lysates detected VWF in the platelets of type 3 patients with Pro2808Leufs*24. Examination of an index case detected VWF within platelets via immunofluorescence microscopy, and in vitro experiments showed that this VWF was released upon platelet activation. Patient BOECs showed decreased VWF synthesis and secretion, although some VWF-containing granules were observed. Conclusion Type 3 VWD patients with the Pro2808Leufs*24 have bioavailable platelet-derived VWF that may produce a milder bleeding phenotype than other type 3s.
