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

The transcription factor c-myb has emerged as one of the key regulators of vertebrate hematopoiesis. In mice, it is dispensable for primitive stages of blood cell development but essentially required for definitive hematopoiesis. Using a conditional knock-out strategy, recent studies have indicated that c-myb is required for self-renewal of mouse hematopoietic stem cells. Here, we describe and characterize the c-myb mutant in a lower vertebrate, the zebrafish Danio rerio. The recessive loss-of-function allele of c-myb (c-myb(t25127)) was identified in a collection of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutants exhibiting a failure of thymopoiesis. The sequence of the mutant allele predicts a missense mutation (I181N) in the middle of the DNA recognition helix of repeat 3 of the highly conserved DNA binding domain. In keeping with the findings in the mouse, primitive hematopoiesis is not affected in the c-myb mutant fish. By contrast, definitive hematopoiesis fails, resulting in the loss of all blood cells by day 20 of development. Thus, the mutant fish lack lymphocytes and other white and red blood cells; nonetheless, they survive for 2-3 mo but show stunted growth. Because the mutant fish survive into early adulthood, it was possible to directly show that their definitive hematopoiesis is permanently extinguished. Our results, therefore, suggest that the key role of c-myb in definitive hematopoiesis is similar to that in mammals and must have become established early in vertebrate evolution.
