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

ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloprotease that is essential for the regulation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) function, mediator of platelet recruitment to sites of blood vessel damage. ADAMTS13 function is dynamically regulated by structural changes induced by VWF binding that convert it from a latent to active conformation. ADAMTS13 global latency is manifest by the interaction of its C-terminal CUB1-2 domains with its central Spacer domain. We resolved the crystal structure of the ADAMTS13 CUB1-2 domains revealing a previously unreported configuration for the tandem CUB domains. Docking simulations between the CUB1-2 domains with the Spacer domain in combination with enzyme kinetic functional characterization of ADAMTS13 CUB domain mutants enabled the mapping of the CUB1-2 domain site that binds the Spacer domain. Together, these data reveal the molecular basis of the ADAMTS13 Spacer-CUB interaction and the control of ADAMTS13 global latency.
