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

Rac1 and Rac2 GTPases, members of the Rho GTPases family, control actin organization and play distinct and overlapping roles in hematopoietic and mature blood cells of all lineages. Here, we review our findings on the role of Rac GTPases in erythroid cells, by using conditional gene-targeting in mice. Rac1 and Rac2 deficiency causes anemia with reticulocytosis, indicating decreased red blood cell (RBC) survival, altered actin assembly in the erythrocyte membrane skeleton and decreased RBC deformability. On the other hand, Rac1(-/-); Rac2(-/-) megakaryocyte-erythrocyte progenitors demonstrate decreased proliferation in the bone marrow, but increased survival and proliferation in the spleen, indicating that stress erythropoiesis circumvents Rac GTPases deficiency. Further elucidation of the signaling pathways controlled by Rac GTPases in erythroid cells may reveal potential therapeutic targets for diseases characterized by hemolytic anemia and erythropoiesis disorders.
