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

abstractFor many years, it has been known that von Willebrand factor (VWF) interacts with factor VIII, collagen, and platelets. In addition, the key roles played by VWF in regulating normal hemostasis have been well defined. However, accumulating recent evidence has shown that VWF can interact with a diverse array of other novel ligands. To date, over 60 different binding partners have been described, with interactions mapped to specific VWF domains in some cases. Although the biological significance of these VWF-binding interactions has not been fully elucidated, recent studies have identified some of these novel ligands as regulators of various aspects of VWF biology, including biosynthesis, proteolysis, and clearance. Conversely, VWF binding has been shown to directly affect the functional properties for some of its ligands. In keeping with those observations, exciting new roles for VWF in regulating a series of nonhemostatic biological functions have also emerged. These include inflammation, wound healing, angiogenesis, and bone metabolism. Finally, recent evidence supports the hypothesis that the nonhemostatic functions of VWF directly contribute to pathogenic mechanisms in a variety of diverse diseases including sepsis, malaria, sickle cell disease, and liver disease. In this manuscript, we review the accumulating data regarding novel ligand interactions for VWF and critically assess how these interactions may affect cellular biology. In addition, we consider the evidence that nonhemostatic VWF functions may contribute to the pathogenesis of human diseases beyond thrombosis and bleeding.
