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

objectiveThe aim of this study was to find a new radiation protector, platelet factor 4 (PF4) and to identify its effect on haemopoietic microenvironment in vitro and in vivo.

methodsRadiation damage on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells ex and in vitro was set up as models. Growth curve analysis, clonogenic survival assay, FACSCalibur™ (BD Immunocytometry Systems, San Jose, CA), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine immunofluorescence staining and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction were employed to assess the characterization of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle and gene expression.

resultsA dose- and time-dependent enhancement of cell viability and survival was observed for PF4 treatment along with 500 cGy γ-radiation in vitro. The same phenomena were noted in vivo, including enhancement of adherence and proliferation ability while inhibition of cell apoptosis, which were associated with a short-term decrease in the G0/G1 ratio owing to S phase arrest. These were accompanied with enhanced Bcl-2 expression and p53/p21 loss.

conclusionThese results uncover that PF4 might be a novel therapeutic approach, which could reduce DNA damage and increase survival of BMSCs, in part, by inhibiting p53/p21 axis and facilitating DNA damage repair. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: This study explores the feasibility of a new radioprotector and hence may be clinically important.
