TFPIα anticoagulant function is highly dependent on protein S in vivo.
Article in Science advances, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Tissue factor pathway inhibitor α (TFPIα) is the major physiological regulator of the initiation of blood coagulation. In vitro, TFPIα anticoagulant function is enhanced by its cofactor, protein S. To define the role of protein S enhancement in TFPIα anticoagulant function in vivo, we blocked endogenous TFPI in mice using a monoclonal antibody (14D1). This caused a profound increase in fibrin deposition using the laser injury thrombosis model. To explore the role of plasma TFPIα in regulating thrombus formation, increasing concentrations of human TFPIα were coinjected with 14D1, which dose-dependently reduced fibrin deposition. Inhibition of protein S cofactor function using recombinant C4b-binding protein β chain significantly reduced the anticoagulant function of human TFPIα in controlling fibrin deposition. We report an in vivo model that is sensitive to the anticoagulant properties of the TFPIα-protein S pathway and show the importance of protein S as a cofactor in the anticoagulant function of TFPIα in vivo.
