Lysyl oxidase-like 2 processing by factor Xa modulates its activity and substrate preference.
Article in Communications biology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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.
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
Lysyl oxidase-like 2 (LOXL2) has been identified as an essential mediator of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling in several disease processes including cardiovascular disease. Thus, there is growing interest in understanding the mechanisms by which LOXL2 is regulated in cells and tissue. While LOXL2 occurs both in full length and processed forms in cells and tissue, the precise identity of the proteases that process LOXL2 and the consequences of processing on LOXL2's function remain incompletely understood. Here we show that Factor Xa (FXa) is a protease that processes LOXL2 at Arg-338. Processing by FXa does not affect the enzymatic activity of soluble LOXL2. However, in situ in vascular smooth muscle cells, LOXL2 processing by FXa results in decreased cross-linking activity in the ECM and shifts substrate preference of LOXL2 from type IV collagen to type I collagen. Additionally, processing by FXa increases the interactions between LOXL2 and prototypical LOX, suggesting a potential compensatory mechanism to preserve total LOXs activity in the vascular ECM. FXa expression is prevalent in various organ systems and shares similar roles in fibrotic disease progression as LOXL2. Thus, LOXL2 processing by FXa could have significant implications in pathologies where LOXL2 is involved.
