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

Under influence of hematopoietic growth factors, particularly thrombopoietin (TPO), hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow go through a process of commitment, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation and become mature megakaryocytes. At this critical point, terminally differentiated megakaryocytes face a new fate: ending the old life as mature megakaryocytes by induction of apoptosis and beginning a new life as platelets by fragmentation of the large megakaryocyte cytoplasm. These events are as important as megakaryocyte commitment, proliferation, differentiation, and maturation, but the molecular mechanisms regulating these events are not well established. Although TPO drives megakaryocyte proliferation and differentiation and protects hematopoietic progenitor cells from death, it does not appear to promote platelet release from terminally differentiated megakaryocytes. Although mature megakaryocyte apoptosis is temporally associated with platelet formation, premature megakaryocyte death directly causes thrombocytopenia in cancer therapy and in diseases such as mvelodysplastic syndromes and human immunodeficiency virus infection. Also, genetic studies have shown that accumulation of megakaryocytes in bone marrow is not necessarily sufficient to produce platelets. All of these findings suggest that platelet release from megakaryocytes is an important and regulated aspect of platelet production, in which megakaryocyte apoptosis may also play a role. This review summarizes recent research progress on megakaryocyte apoptosis and platelet release.
