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

Adenosine Deaminase Acting on RNA 1 (ADAR1) is an RNA-editing enzyme that converts adenosine to inosine, following RNA transcription. ADAR1's essential role in embryonic development, especially within the hematopoietic lineage, has been demonstrated in knock-out mice. However, a specific role for ADAR1 in adult hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) remains elusive. In this report, we show that ADAR1 is required for survival of differentiating HPCs as opposed to more primitive cells in adult mice by multiple strategies targeting floxed ADAR1 for deletion by Cre recombinase. As a consequence, ADAR1-deficient hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) were incapable of reconstituting irradiated recipients although being phenotypically present in the recipient bone marrow. While an effect on HSCs cannot be completely ruled out, the preferential effect of ADAR1 absence on HPCs over more primitive hematopoietic cells was consistent with the increased expression of ADAR1 within HPCs, as well as the inability of ADAR1-deficient HPCs to form differentiated colonies and increased apoptotic fraction during ex vivo culture. Moreover, we have obtained direct evidence that ADAR1 functions in HPCs via an RNA-editing dependent mechanism. Therefore, ADAR1 plays an essential role in adult hematopoiesis through its RNA editing activity in HPCs.
