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

backgroundCollagen interactions with von Willebrand factor (VWF) perform an important role in initiation of hemostasis.

objectivesWe hypothesized that in addition to collagen, other extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins such as fibronectin can bind VWF.

methodsFibronectin-VWF interactions were measured by ELISA using both plasma-derived and recombinant VWF-containing variants in specific domains. Inhibition was measured by antibody competition using antibodies directed against both VWF and fibronectin. Binding affinities were measured by the Octet Biosensor for fibronectin and collagen IV.

resultsFibronectin was able to bind both plasma-derived and recombinant wild-type VWF. This interaction was inhibited by both anti-VWF antibodies and collagen types III and IV. Several VWF A1 domain variants in the region of the collagen IV binding site also demonstrated absent fibronectin binding, as did variants with defects in high-molecular-weight multimers. Binding affinity testing showed fibronectin has a strong affinity for VWF, in a range similar to that of collagen IV. Fibronectin binds VWF via a restricted region of the A1 domain. This interaction requires high-molecular-weight multimers and is similar to that seen with vascular collagens.

conclusionsTherefore, VWF would appear to be the common factor linking platelet adhesion to various ECM proteins and facilitating hemostasis under conditions of ECM exposure.
