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

Interferon regulatory factors (IRF-1 and IRF-2) are transcription factors of IRF-family that regulate expression of genes for cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in mammalian cells. IRF-1 and IRF-2 play crucial roles in the differentiation of bone marrow cells for immune response. Bone marrow (BM) is the soft lymphoid organ that contains many types of stem cells and produces different types of cells of the blood and immune system. Genetic alterations and damage of the bone marrow cells can lead to different types of blood and immune system-related diseases including anemia and cancer. We have studied the expression of IRF-1 and IRF-2 during radiation-induced damage and regeneration of bone marrow cells after transplantation of freshly isolated bone marrow cells in the mouse. Cell cycle analysis, colony forming unit-fibroblast (CFU-F) assay and bone marrow histology showed that after radiation-induced damage, the bone marrow transplantation resulted in regeneration of the bone marrow up to 24-35% recovery. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR) for the mRNA expression showed that IRF-1 and IRF-2 were expressed at higher levels in the bone marrow cells of the irradiated (4.34× fold for IRF-1, and 3.87× fold for IRF-2) compared to control and transplanted (1.13× fold for IRF-1, and 1.12× fold IRF-2) mice and immuno-fluorescence analysis for the protein expression showed that IRF-1 and IRF-2 were expressed at higher levels in the bone marrow cells of the irradiated (2.12× fold for IRF-1 and 1.71× fold for IRF-2) compared to control and transplanted (1.73× fold for IRF-1 and 1.21× fold for IRF-2) mice. Thus, IRF-1 and IRF-2 are sensitive and responsive to radiation-induced damage in the bone marrow cells and may also be involved in the bone marrow regeneration process.
