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

Two preparations of human interferon (IFN)-alpha were assessed for their influence on granulocyte-macrophage progenitor cells (CFU-GM) in vitro. Both highly purified human IFN-alpha Ly and recombinant IFN-alpha 2a suppressed CFU-GM colony formation in a dose-dependent manner using low-density bone-marrow target cells. Suppression of CFU-GM colony formation was accompanied by an increase in clusters. However, depletion of monocytes, T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes from low-density bone-marrow cells resulted in insensitivity of progenitor cells to IFN-alpha. These results demonstrate that the effects of human IFN-alpha on myeloid progenitor cells (CFU-GM) are mediated by accessory cells within the bone marrow.
