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

objectiveVarious studies have shown that bone marrow stem cells can rescue mice from acute renal tubular damage under a conditioning advantage (irradiation or cisplatin treatment) favouring donor cell engraftment and regeneration; however, it is not known whether bone marrow cells (BMCs) can contribute to repair of acute tubular damage in the absence of a selection pressure for the donor cells. The aim of this study was to examine this possibility. MATERIALS AND

methodsTen-week-old female mice were assigned into control non-irradiated animals having only vehicle treatment, HgCl(2)-treated non-irradiated mice, HgCl(2)-treated non-irradiated mice infused with male BMCs 1 day after HgCl(2), and vehicle-treated mice with male BMCs. Tritiated thymidine was given 1 h before animal killing.

resultsDonor BMCs could not alleviate non-irradiated mice from acute tubular damage caused by HgCl(2), deduced by no reduction in serum urea nitrogen combined with negligible cell engraftment. However, donor BMCs could home to the bone marrow and spleen and display proliferative activity. This is the first report to show that despite no preparative myeloablation of recipients, engrafted donor BMCs can synthesize DNA in the bone marrow and spleen.

conclusionsExogenous BMCs do not rescue non-irradiated mice from acute renal tubular damage caused by HgCl(2), despite establishment of chimerism and cell proliferation in bone marrow and spleen.
