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

Suppression of programmed cell death is critical for the final maturation of red blood cells and depends largely on the anti-apoptotic effects of EpoR-STAT5-Bcl-x(L) signaling. As the major eukaryotic serine/threonine phosphatase, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates multiple cellular processes, including apoptosis. However, whether PP2A plays a role in preventing erythroid cells from undergoing apoptosis remains to be elucidated. We conditionally inactivated the catalytic subunit α of PP2A (PP2Acα), which is the predominant form of PP2Ac, during early embryonic hematopoiesis. Loss of PP2Acα in hematopoietic cells perturbed definitive erythropoiesis characterized by fetal liver atrophy, reduced Ter119(+) cell number, abnormal expression patterns of molecular markers, less colony formation, and a reduction in definitive globin expression. Levels of erythropoiesis-promoting cytokines and initial seeding with hematopoietic progenitors remained unchanged in PP2Acα(TKO) fetal livers. We noted impaired expansion of the fetal erythroid compartment, which was associated with increased apoptosis of committed erythroid cells. Mechanistically, PP2Acα depletion markedly reduced Tyr(694) phosphorylation of STAT5 and expression of Bcl-x(L). Unexpectedly, PP2Acα-deficient embryos did not manifest any early embryonic vascular defects. Collectively, these data provide direct loss-of-function evidence demonstrating the importance of PP2Acα for the survival of committed erythroid cells during fetal liver erythropoiesis.
