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

backgroundFactor (F)IX is unique among the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors in that a substantial portion is bound to extravascular sites.

objectivesDetermine the impact of exosites in the human FIX protease domain on clearance, tissue distribution, and activity in hemophilic mice.

methodsHuman FIX(a) variants with protease domain substitutions in the antithrombin (R150A), heparin (K126A/K132A), and FIX-Padua (R170A) exosites were evaluated in hemophilia B (zymogen) and A (protease) mice. Pharmacokinetic modeling of FIX(a) clearance, select tissue content, and in vivo activity were determined.

resultsFIX wild-type (WT) demonstrated poor plasma recovery, biphasic clearance, and heterogeneous tissue binding. FIX WT was predominantly found in liver, followed by plasma, kidney, heart, and brain. Equimolar FIX variants were similar except for FIX K126A/K132A, which demonstrated 2.3-fold higher plasma recovery and reduced liver content. FIXa WT was cleared more rapidly than zymogen, but also had poor recovery, biphasic clearance, and heterogeneous tissue binding. FIXa-Glu-Gly-Arg-chloromethyl ketone accelerated clearance from all compartments in the distribution phase but prolonged the terminal phase relative to FIXa. FIXa K126A/K132A, R150A, and R170A demonstrated 2- to 3-fold higher plasma recovery than WT, with reduced liver content for FIXa K126A/K132A. Despite reduced coagulant activity, FIX K126A/K132A and R150A demonstrated intact or enhanced potency relative to FIX WT in the saphenous vein bleeding and FeCl

conclusionProtease exosites regulate in vivo clearance, distribution, and FIX(a) activity. Human FIX(a) demonstrates extensive tissue-specific binding to extravascular sites.
