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

Simultaneous addition of both TGF-alpha and TGF-beta induces the sustained, long-term outgrowth of chicken erythrocytic progenitor cells, referred to as T2ECs from both chick bone marrow and 2-day-old chicken embryos. By analysis for differentiation antigens and gene expression, these cells were shown to represent very immature haematopoietic progenitors committed to the erythrocytic lineage. T2ECs differentiate into almost pure populations of fully mature erythrocytes within 6 days, when TGF-alpha and TGF-beta are withdrawn and the cells exposed to anaemic chicken serum plus insulin. Outgrowth of these cells from various sources invariably required both TGF-alpha and TGF-beta, as well as glucocorticoids. Proliferating, established T2ECs still require TGF-alpha, but are independent of exogenous TGF-beta. Using a TGF-beta-neutralizing antibody or expressing a dominant-negative TGF-beta receptor II, we demonstrate that T2ECs generate an autocrine loop involving TGF-beta during their establishment, which is required for sustained proliferation. Using specific inhibitors, we also show that signalling via Mek-1 is specifically required for induction and maintenance of cell proliferation driven by cooperation between the TGF-alpha and -beta receptors. These results establish a novel mechanism by which self-renewal of erythrocytic progenitors is induced and establish avian T2ECs as a new, quasi-optimal model system to study erythrocytic progenitors.
