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

Platelets are the small anuclear blood cells that are the product of megakaryocytopoiesis, the process of hematopoietic stem cell commitment to megakaryocyte production and the differentiation and maturation of these cells for platelet release. Deregulation or disruption of megakaryocytopoiesis can result in platelet deficiencies, the thrombocytopenias, with attendant risk of hemorrhage or thrombocytosis, a pathological excess of platelet numbers. Mouse models, particularly those engineered to carry genetic alterations modeling mutations associated with human disease, have provided important insights into megakaryocytopoiesis and deregulation of this process in disease. This review focuses on mouse models of diseases of altered megakaryocyte and platelet number, illustrating the profound contribution of these models in validating suspected roles of disease-associated genetic alterations, promoting discovery of new links between genetic mutations and specific diseases, and providing unique tools for better understanding of disease pathophysiology and progression, as well as resources to define drug action or develop new therapeutic strategies.
