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

backgroundAlthough precursor-targeted immune-mediated anemia (PIMA) is thought to be caused by immune targeting of erythroid precursors (nucleated RBCs, nRBCs), its pathogenesis is unknown. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) or phosphatidylserine (PS) may promote nRBC destruction in PIMA. HYPOTHESIS: Dogs with PIMA have increased nRBC IgG and PS, and dogs with immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (IMHA) have increased RBC PS compared to healthy dogs. ANIMALS: Blood from 20 healthy dogs and from dogs with IMHA (11) or other (non-IMHA) conditions (9), and marrow aspirates with or without blood from 10 healthy dogs and from dogs with PIMA (17) or other (non-IMHA, non-PIMA) conditions (7).

methodsMarrow nRBC stages were separated by density gradient. Flow cytometry was used to assess the percentage of RBCs or nRBCs with increased IgG or PS.

resultsRed blood cell (RBC) IgG positivity was increased in 9/11 IMHA dogs and 0/9 non-IMHA dogs. Red blood cell PS positivity was increased in 10/11 IMHA dogs and 2/9 non-IMHA dogs. Five of 17 PIMA dogs had increased nRBC IgG positivity in mid- or late-stage fractions, whereas all 7 non-PIMA dogs were negative. Mid- and late-stage erythroid precursor PS was significantly higher in PIMA dogs compared to healthy dogs. Five of 14 PIMA dogs had increased RBC IgG positivity.

conclusionsImmunoglobulin G and PS may promote destruction of nRBCs in PIMA dogs; PS may promote destruction of RBCs in IMHA dogs.
