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
Bone marrow (BM) endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) damage of unknown mechanism delays the repair of endothelial cells (EC) and recovery of hematopoiesis after chemo-radiotherapy. We found increased levels of the glycolytic enzyme PFKFB3 in the damaged BM EPC of patients with poor graft function, a clinical model of EPC damage-associated poor hematopoiesis after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Moreover, in vitro the glycolysis inhibitor 3-(3-pyridinyl)- 1-(4-pyridinyl)-2-propen-1-one (3PO) alleviated the damaged BM EPC from patients with poor graft function. Consistently, PFKFB3 overexpression triggered BM EPC damage after 5-fluorouracil treatment and impaired hematopoiesis-supporting ability in vitro. Mechanistically, PFKFB3 facilitated pro-apoptotic transcription factor FOXO3A and expression of its downstream genes, including p21, p27, and FAS, after 5-fluorouracil treatment in vitro. Moreover, PFKFB3 induced activation of NF-κB and expression of its downstream adhesion molecule E-selectin, while it reduced hematopoietic factor SDF-1 expression, which could be rescued by FOXO3A silencing. High expression of PFKFB3 was found in damaged BM EC of murine models of chemo-radiotherapy-induced myelosuppression. Furthermore, a murine model of BM EC-specific PFKFB3 overexpression demonstrated that PFKFB3 aggravated BM EC damage, and impaired the recovery of hematopoiesis after chemotherapy in vivo, effects which could be mitigated by 3PO, indicating a critical role of PFKFB3 in regulating BM EC damage. Clinically, PFKFB3-induced FOXO3A expression and NF-κB activation were confirmed to contribute to the damaged BM EPC of patients with acute leukemia after chemotherapy. 3PO repaired the damaged BM EPC by reducing FOXO3A expression and phospho-NF-κB p65 in patients after chemotherapy. In summary, our results reveal a critical role of PFKFB3 in triggering BM EPC damage and indicate that endothelial-PFKFB3 may be a potential therapeutic target for myelosuppressive injury.
