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

Ancestral sequence reconstruction provides a unique platform for investigating the molecular evolution of single gene products and recently has shown success in engineering advanced biological therapeutics. To date, the coevolution of proteins within complexes and protein-protein interactions is mostly investigated in silico via proteomics and/or within single-celled systems. Herein, ancestral sequence reconstruction is used to investigate the molecular evolution of 2 proteins linked not only by stabilizing association in circulation but also by their independent roles within the primary and secondary hemostatic systems of mammals. Using sequence analysis and biochemical characterization of recombinant ancestral von Willebrand factor (VWF) and coagulation factor VIII (FVIII), we investigated the evolution of the essential macromolecular FVIII/VWF complex. Our data support the hypothesis that these coagulation proteins coevolved throughout mammalian diversification, maintaining strong binding affinities while modulating independent and distinct hemostatic activities in diverse lineages.
