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

Excessive telomere shortening has been demonstrated in inherited and acquired blood disorders, including aplastic anemia and myelodysplastic syndromes. It is possible that replicative exhaustion, owing to critical telomere shortening in hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), contributes to the development of cytopenias in these disorders. However to date, a direct link between the telomere length (TL) of human HPCs and their proliferative potential has not been demonstrated. In the present investigation, the TL and level of telomerase enzyme activity (TA) detected in cord blood (CB)-derived HPCs was found to predict erythroid expansion (P<0.01 and P=0.01 respectively). These results were corroborated by a correlation between proliferation of erythroid cells and telomere loss (P=0.01). In contrast, no correlations were found between initial TL, telomere loss or TA and the expansion of other myeloid lineage-committed cells. There was also no correlation between TL or TA and the number of clonogenic progenitors, including primitive progenitors derived from long-term culture. Our investigations revealed upregulation of telomerase to tumor cell levels in CD34- cells undergoing erythroid differentiation. Together, these results provide new insight into the regulation of TL and TA during myeloid cell expansion and demonstrate that TL is an important determinant of CB-derived erythroid cell proliferation.
