Global Comparative Antithrombin Field Study: Impact of Laboratory Assay Variability on the Assessment of Antithrombin Activity Measurement at Fitusiran Clinical Decision-Making Points.
Article in Haemophilia : the official journal of the World Federation of Hemophilia, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
introductionFitusiran is a subcutaneous, investigational small interfering RNA therapeutic that lowers antithrombin (AT) to increase thrombin generation and rebalance haemostasis in people with haemophilia A or B with or without inhibitors.
aimTo evaluate and compare the performance of commercially available in vitro diagnostic (IVD) AT activity assays.
methodsField study sample kits with plasma AT activity levels (100, 36, 14 and 9 IU/dL or % of normal) were created and distributed to global haemostasis laboratories. Values were assigned based on Siemens INNOVANCE AT activity assay using BCS-XP analyser. Reliability (relative accuracy estimate), intra- and inter-laboratory variability of IVDs in measuring AT activity in plasma samples using various commercially available AT assays was assessed.
resultsAt normal AT activity level (i.e., 100%), all AT assays reliably measured AT activity with acceptable recovery. Accurate results were observed for all samples across sites using Siemens INNOVANCE AT assay. Increased variability was observed for all other assays at low AT levels. Siemens Berichrom and Stago STA-Stachrom assays accurately measured 100% and 36% AT activity; however, lab-to-lab variability was observed for ≤15% AT activity (CV >20%). All laboratories for the Stago STA-Stachrom assay failed to measure 9% AT activity. The HemosIL assay significantly underestimated AT activity levels ≤36%. There were no reported values for the 14% and 9% AT samples.
conclusionsSiemens INNOVANCE AT assay can reliably measure AT activity at clinical decision points of 15-35% of normal and is most suitable for clinical management of patients taking fitusiran.
