Flow Cytometry Evaluation of Blood-Cell-Bound Surface FVIII in Hemophilia A and Thrombosis.
Article in Cells, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Hemophilia A (HA) is associated with FVIII coagulation insufficiency or inactivity leading to excessive bleeding. Elevated FVIII, on the contrary, is associated with thrombophilia, thrombosis, myocardial infarctions, and stroke. Active FVIII (aFVIII) uses its C2 domain to bind to blood cells' membranes, consequently carrying out its coagulative function. We developed a reliable flow cytometry (FC) method for FVIII detection that can be utilized for assessing surface-bound FVIII on leukocytes in different coagulation/clinical states; we analyzed 49 pediatric subjects, encompassing patients with HA, other coagulopathies, venous thrombosis, and normal coagulation. Interestingly, the total leukocyte surface FVIII showed a declining trend across thrombosis, normal, and hypo-coagulation states. As expected, the leukocytes of HA patients displayed significantly lower levels of cellular-surface FVIII in comparison to patients with thrombosis. However, no significant correlation was observed between circulating levels of FVIII in plasma and the levels of FVIII bound to leukocytes, indicating that the differences in FVIII surface binding are not directly proportional to the availability of FVIII in the circulation and suggesting a specific binding mechanism governing the interaction between FVIII and leukocytes. Intriguingly, when analyzing the distinct blood subpopulations, we observed that surface FVIII levels were significantly elevated in classical monocytes of thrombosis patients compared to HA patients, healthy controls, and patients with other coagulopathies. Our study highlights the reliability of our FC platform in assessing FVIII abundance on leukocytes' membranes across coagulation states. Monocytes, particularly in cases of thrombosis, exhibit active binding of FVIII on their surface, suggesting a potential role in the pathophysiology of thrombosis that requires further investigation.
