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

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in adult bone marrow (BM) are usually maintained in a state of quiescence. The cellular mechanism coordinating the balance between HSC quiescence and differentiation is not fully understood. Here, we report that galactose-binding lectin-3 (galectin-3; Gal-3) is upregulated by Tie2 or Mpl activation to maintain quiescence. Conditional overexpression of Gal-3 in mouse HSCs under the transcriptional control of Tie2 or Vav1 promoters (Gal-3 Tg) causes cell cycle retardation via induction of p21. Conversely, the cell cycle of long-term repopulating HSCs (LT-HSCs) in Gal-3-deficient (Gal-3
