GPRASP proteins are critical negative regulators of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Article in Blood, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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.
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
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (HSCT) is often exploited to treat hematologic disease. Donor HSCs must survive, proliferate, and differentiate in the damaged environment of the reconstituting niche. Illuminating molecular mechanisms regulating the activity of transplanted HSCs will inform efforts to improve HSCT. Here, we report that G-protein-coupled receptor-associated sorting proteins (GPRASPs) function as negative regulators of HSCT. Silencing of Gprasp1 or Gprasp2 increased the survival, quiescence, migration, niche retention, and hematopoietic repopulating activity of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) posttransplant. We further show that GPRASP1 and GPRASP2 promote the degradation of CXCR4, a master regulator of HSC function during transplantation. CXCR4 accumulates in Gprasp-deficient HSPCs, boosting their function posttransplant. Thus, GPRASPs negatively regulate CXCR4 stability in HSCs. Our work reveals GPRASP proteins as negative regulators of HSCT and CXCR4 activity. Disruption of GPRASP/CXCR4 interactions could be exploited in the future to enhance the efficiency of HSCT.
