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 this study, we aimed to explore how cellular iron status affects embryonic haematopoiesis. For this purpose, we used a model of mouse embryonic stem cell differentiation into embryonic haematopoietic progenitors. We modulated the iron status by adding either the iron chelator Deferoxamine (DFO) for iron deficiency, or ferric ammonium citrate for iron excess, and followed the emergence of developing haematopoietic progenitors. Interestingly, we found that iron deficiency did not block the endothelial to haematopoietic transition, the first step of haematopoiesis. However, it did reduce the proliferation, survival and clonogenic capacity of haematopoietic progenitors. Surprisingly, iron deficiency affected erythro-myeloid progenitors significantly more than the primitive erythroid ones. Erythro-myeloid progenitors expressed less transferrin-receptor on the cell surface and had less labile iron compared to primitive erythroid progenitors, which could reduce their capacity to compete for scarce iron and survive iron deficiency. In conclusion, we show that iron deficiency could disturb haematopoiesis at an early embryonic stage by compromising more severely the survival, proliferation and differentiation of definitive haematopoietic progenitors compared to restricted erythroid progenitors.
