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

Background: Venous thromboembolic events have been reported in persons with hemophilia A who received emicizumab and activated prothrombin complex concentrate (APCC) concomitantly, but the relevant mechanism(s) remains unclear. We speculated that activated protein C (APC) and antithrombin (AT) resistance might be associated with these adverse events. Objectives: To investigate APC and AT resistance in factor (F)VIII-deficient (FVIIIdef) plasma in the presence of emicizumab and APCC. Methods: In pooled normal plasma or FVIIIdef plasma samples mixed with emicizumab (50 μg/mL) and FVIII-bypassing agents, including recombinant FVIIa (2.2 μg/mL), APCC (1.3 IU/mL), or plasma-derived FVIIa/FX (1.5 μg/mL), the suppression effect of AT (0-2.4 μM) and APC (0-16 nM) was assessed by tissue factor-triggered thrombin generation assay. The APC effects in FVIIIdef plasma with the copresence of emicizumab, FII (1.3 μM), and/or FIXa (280 pM) were also examined. Results: The AT resistance in emicizumab and each bypassing agent was not observed. Moreover, APC dose-dependent suppression effect was observed in pooled normal plasma or FVIIIdef plasma mixed with emicizumab and recombinant FVIIa or plasma-derived FVIIa/FX. However, APC-catalyzed inactivation had little effect on thrombin generation assay potential in FVIIIdef plasma spiked with emicizumab and APCC. The addition of FIXa to emicizumab in FVIIIdef plasma could lead to partial APC resistance. Furthermore, FVIIIdef plasma spiked with emicizumab, FIXa, and FII was markedly resistant to APC-mediated inactivation. Conclusion: FII and FIXa in APCCs were key clotting factors for APC resistance in FVIIIdef plasma supplemented with emicizumab and APCCs. The APC resistance in persons with hemophilia A receiving emicizumab and APCC may contribute to venous thromboembolic events.
