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

Insufficient erythropoiesis due to increased demand is usually met by hypoxia-driven up-regulation of erythropoietin (Epo). Here, we uncovered vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) as a novel inducer of Epo capable of increasing circulating Epo under normoxic, nonanemic conditions in a previously unrecognized reservoir of Epo-producing cells (EPCs), leading to expansion of the erythroid progenitor pool and robust splenic erythropoiesis. Epo induction by VEGF occurs in kidney, liver, and spleen in a population of Gli1
