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

Hemopoietic stem cells from human fetal liver were transplanted in utero into preimmune fetal sheep (48-54 days of gestation). The fate of donor cells was followed using karyotype analysis, by immunofluorescence labeling with anti-CD antibodies, and by fluorescent in situ hybridization using human-specific DNA probes. Engraftment occurred in 13 of 33 recipients. Of five live born sheep that exhibited chimerism, all expressed human cells in the marrow, whereas three expressed them in blood as well. Engraftment was multilineage (erythroid, myeloid, and lymphoid) and human hemopoietic progenitors (multipotent colony-forming units, colony-forming units-granulocyte, macrophage, and erythroid burst-forming units) capable of forming colonies in vitro were detected in all five lambs for greater than 2 yr. These progenitors responded to human-specific growth factors both in vitro and in vivo. Thus the administration of recombinant human IL-3 and granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor to chimeric sheep resulted in a 2.1-3.4-fold increase in the relative expression of donor (human) cells. These results demonstrate that the permissive environment of the preimmune fetal sheep provides suitable conditions for the engraftment and long-term multilineage expression of human hemopoietic stem cells in a large animal model. In this model, donor human cells appear to retain certain phenotypic and functional characteristics that can be used to manipulate the size of donor cell pool.
