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

Inflammation alters bone marrow hematopoiesis to favor the production of innate immune effector cells at the expense of lymphoid cells and erythrocytes. Furthermore, proinflammatory cytokines inhibit steady-state erythropoiesis, which leads to the development of anemia in diseases with chronic inflammation. Acute anemia or hypoxic stress induces stress erythropoiesis, which generates a wave of new erythrocytes to maintain erythroid homeostasis until steady-state erythropoiesis can resume. Although hypoxia-dependent signaling is a key component of stress erythropoiesis, we found that inflammation also induced stress erythropoiesis in the absence of hypoxia. Using a mouse model of sterile inflammation, we demonstrated that signaling through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) paradoxically increased the phagocytosis of erythrocytes (erythrophagocytosis) by macrophages in the spleen, which enabled expression of the heme-responsive gene encoding the transcription factor SPI-C. Increased amounts of SPI-C coupled with TLR signaling promoted the expression of
