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

Platelet count in humans is a strongly genetically regulated trait, with approximately 85% of the interindividual variance in platelet numbers attributable to genetic factors. Inbred mouse strains also have strain-specific platelet count ranges. As part of a project to identify novel factors that regulate platelet count, we identified two inbred mouse strains, CBA/CaH and QSi5, with substantial differences in platelet count (mean values of 581 vs. 1062 x 10(9)/L). An F(2) intercross resource of 1126 animals was bred from these two parental strains for a genomewide scan for quantitative trait loci (QTL) for platelet count. QTL were identified on MMU1 (LOD 6.8, p < 0.0005) and MMU11 (LOD 11.2, p < 0.0005) by selectively genotyping animals from the extremes of the F(2) platelet count distribution. Three other QTL of suggestive statistical significance were also detected on MMU7, 13, and 17. It is noteworthy that no QTL were detected in the vicinity of the genes encoding thrombopoietin ( Thpo), and its receptor ( c-Mpl), both known to influence platelet production. Comparison of gene expression levels between the parental mouse strains by microarrays also showed little difference in the mRNA levels of these known candidate genes. These results represent the first published use of a genetic linkage-based approach in a mouse model toward the identification of genetic factors that regulate platelet count.
