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

We have evaluated bone marrow morphology, percentage of bone marrow CD34(+) cells, proliferative activity of bone marrow precursors, clonogenic assay (BFU-E and CFU-GM) in short-term bone marrow cultures, and bone marrow cell apoptosis, together with serum TNF-alpha and IL-6, in 16 chronic, refractory RA patients, as well as in five healthy controls. Of 16 RA patients (68.7%), 11 showed a reduced bone marrow cellularity, while it was normal in all the controls. In RA patients, the median percentage of CD34(+) bone marrow cells, the median percentage of proliferating bone marrow myeloid precursors, and the median number of both BFU-E and CFU-GM colonies were significantly lower than observed in the controls. As far as TNF-alpha and IL-6 titers is concerned, the latter did not significantly differ from controls' values, while TNF-alpha titers were significantly lower in healthy controls. Finally, the median apoptotic index of early bone marrow myeloid cells of RA patients was significantly higher compared with controls. These observations may identify the biological risk factors for impaired mobilization and/or engraftment when RA patients are candidates for autologous hematopoietic stem cell grafting.
