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

backgroundTraumatic injury and the associated acute bleeding are leading causes of death in people aged 1 to 44 years. Acute bleeding in pathological and surgical settings also represents a significant burden to the society. Yet there are no approved hemostatic drugs currently available. While clinically proven as an effective pro-coagulant, activated factor VII (FVIIa) use in acute bleeding has been hampered by unwanted thromboembolic events. Enhancing the ability of FVIIa to quickly stop a bleed and clear rapidly from circulation may yield an ideal molecule suitable for use in patients with acute bleeding.

objectivesTo address this need and the current liability of FVIIa, we produced a novel FVIIa molecule (CT-001) with enhanced potency and shortened plasma residence time by cell line engineering and FVIIa protein engineering for superior efficacy for acute bleeding and safety.

methodsTo address safety, CT-001, a FVIIa protein with 4 desialylated N-glycans was generated to promote active recognition and clearance via the asialoglycoprotein receptor. To enhance potency, the gamma-carboxylated domain was modified with P10Q and K32E, which enhanced membrane binding.

resultsTogether, these changes significantly enhanced potency and clearance while retaining the ability to interact with the key hemostatic checkpoint proteins antithrombin and tissue factor pathway inhibitor.

conclusionsThese results demonstrate that a FVIIa molecule engineered to combine supra-physiological activity and shorter duration of action has the potential to overcome the current limitations of recombinant FVIIa to be a safe and effective approach to the treatment of acute bleeding.
