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 retinoblastoma (Rb) tumor suppressor plays important roles in regulating hematopoiesis, particularly erythropoiesis. In an effort to understand whether Rb function can be mediated by E2F transcription factors in a BM-derived hematopoietic system in mice, we uncovered a functional synergy between Rb and E2F8 to promote erythropoiesis and to prevent anemia. Specifically, whereas Mx1-Cre-mediated inactivation of Rb or E2f8 in hematopoietic stem cells only led to mild erythropoietic defects, concomitant inactivation of both genes resulted in marked ineffective erythropoiesis and mild hemolysis, leading to severe anemia despite the presence of enhanced extramedullary erythropoiesis. Interestingly, although ineffective erythropoiesis was already present in the RbΔ/Δ mice and exacerbated in the RbΔ/Δ;E2f8Δ/Δ mice, hemolysis was exclusively manifested in the double-knockout mice. Using an adoptive transfer system and an erythroid-specific knockout system, we have shown that the synergy of Rb and E2f8 deficiency in triggering severe anemia is intrinsic to the erythroid lineage. Surprisingly, concomitant inactivation of Rb and E2f7, a close family member of E2f8, did not substantially worsen the erythropoietic defect resulted from Rb deficiency. The results of the present study reveal the specificity of E2F8 in mediating Rb function in erythropoiesis and suggest critical and overlapping roles of Rb and E2f8 in maintaining normal erythropoiesis and in preventing hemolysis.
