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

In mouse mid-gestational embryos, definitive hematopoietic stem progenitor cells are derived directly from a very small proportion of the arterial endothelium. However, the physiological mechanisms restraining excessive endothelial-hematopoietic transition remain elusive. We show here that genetic deletion of Smad4 from the endothelium stage (using Tie2-Cre), but not from embryonic hematopoietic cells (using Vav-Cre), leads to a strikingly augmented emergence of intra-arterial hematopoietic clusters and an enhanced in vitro generation of hematopoietic progenitors, with no increase in the proliferation and survival of hematopoietic cluster cells. This finding indicates a temporally restricted negative effect of Smad4 on the endothelial to hematopoietic progenitor transition. Furthermore, the absence of endothelial Smad4 causes an increased expression of subaortic bone morphogenetic protein 4 and an activation of aortic extracellular signal-regulated kinase, thereby resulting in the excessive generation of blood cells. Collectively, our data for the first time identify a physiological suppressor that functions specifically during the transition of endothelial cells to hematopoietic progenitors and further suggest that endothelial Smad4 is a crucial modulator of the subaortic microenvironment that controls the hematopoietic fate of the aortic endothelium.
