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

Hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow (BM) give rise to all blood cells. According to the classic model of hematopoiesis, the differentiation paths leading to the myeloid and lymphoid lineages segregate early. A candidate 'common lymphoid progenitor' (CLP) has been isolated from CD34(+)CD38(-) human cord blood cells based on CD7 expression. Here, we confirm the B- and NK-differentiation potential of CD34(+)CD38(-)CD7(+) cells and show in addition that this population has strong capacity to differentiate into T cells. As CD34(+)CD38(-)CD7(+) cells are virtually devoid of myeloid differentiation potential, these cells represent true CLPs. To unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying lymphoid commitment, we performed genome-wide gene expression profiling on sorted CD34(+)CD38(-)CD7(+) and CD34(+)CD38(-)CD7(-) cells. Interestingly, lymphoid-affiliated genes were mainly upregulated in the CD7(+) population, while myeloid-specific genes were downregulated. This supports the hypothesis that lineage commitment is accompanied by the shutdown of inappropriate gene expression and the upregulation of lineage-specific genes. In addition, we identified several highly expressed genes that have not been described in hematopoiesis before.
