Bone marrow hyaluronan and reticulin in patients with malignant disorders.
Article in Medical oncology (Northwood, London, England), 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Myelofibrosis is commonly seen in patients with chronic myeloproliferative diseases and sometimes in myelodysplastic syndrome, acute leukaemia and lymphoproliferative diseases. The fibrotic process is evaluated by grading the amount of collagen deposited in the bone marrow interstitium. The established method to evaluate bone marrow fibrosis is staining for reticulin to visualise the collagen fibres. However, the extra cellular matrix does not only contain collagens but also other components, e.g. glycosaminoglycans of which hyaluronan is the most abundant. Hyaluronan is important for structural and cellular functions. Earlier studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between hyaluronan and reticulin staining in healthy volunteers and in patients with de novo acute myeloid leukaemia. In this study bone marrow biopsies from 43 patients with a malignant disease involving the bone marrow were compared with 18 patients with a malignant disease not involving the bone marrow. The intensity of hyaluronan grading was significantly higher in the patients with disease involving the bone marrow compared to the healthy controls but not compared to the patients without disease involving the bone marrow. The staining intensity of reticulin in the bone marrow was significantly higher in the patients with disease involving the bone marrow, compared to those without disease involving the bone marrow and to the controls. In all patients and the controls there was a correlation between hyaluronan and reticulin.
