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

Since their discovery about a decade ago, endothelial precursor cells (EPC) have been subjected to intensive investigation. The vision to stimulate respectively suppress a key player of vasculogenesis opened a plethora of clinical applications. However, as research opened deeper insights into EPC biology, the enthusiasm of the pioneer era has been damped in favour of a more critical view. Recent research is focused on three major questions: The fact that the number of EPC in peripheral blood is exceedingly low has consistently raised suspicion whether these cells can plausibly have an impact on physiological or pathophysiological processes. Secondly, whereas the key role of EPC in tumourigenesis has been strongly emphasized by various groups in the past, recent publications are challenging this hypothesis. Thirdly, the lack of consensus on EPC-defining markers and standardized protocols for their detection have repeatedly led to difficulties concerning comparability between papers. In this current review, an overview on recent findings on EPC biology is given, their challenging clinical implications are discussed and the perplexity underlying the current controversial debate is illustrated.
