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

Survivin is an inhibitor of apoptosis and its role in embryonic development is not completely understood. In zebrafish, survivin undergoes gene duplication. Survivin1 (sur1) has been shown to mediate angiogenesis but not hematopoiesis. In this study, we examined survivin2 (sur2) with particular reference to its role in primitive hematopoiesis during zebrafish development. sur2 was expressed predominantly in the intermediate cell mass (ICM, site of primitive hematopoiesis). Morpholino (MO) targeting at intron1-exon2 junction of sur2 significantly reduced green fluorescent protein(+) (erythroid) cell population in transgenic Tg (gata1:gfp) embryos at 18 h post-fertilization (h.p.f.; wild type: 4.49+/-0.15%; Sur2(MO) embryos: 2.22+/-0.12%, P=0.02). Molecular targeting was confirmed by reverse transcription-PCR and MO specificity by successful sur2 mRNA rescue. sur2 MO also downregulated genes associated with hematopoietic stem cells (scl, lmo2), erythroid (gata1, alpha- and beta-embryonic hemoglobins) as well as early (pu.1) and late (mpo, l-plastin) myelomonocytic lineages at 12 and 18 h.p.f. This was associated with an increase in apoptosis in the ICM and alteration of cell-cycle status of erythroid cells. Both effects were caspase dependent. In conclusion, sur2 is important in maintaining hematopoietic stem and lineage committed cells during zebrafish development, by virtue of its antiapoptotic activity in a caspase dependent and cell autonomous fashion.
