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

Erythroblastic island (EBI), composed of a central macrophage surrounded by developing erythroid cells, is a structure found in hematopoietic tissues such as fetal liver and bone marrow. It is the first described hematopoietic niche that predominantly supports erythropoiesis. Although it is well accepted that EBIs and EBI macrophage play important roles during erythropoiesis, the mechanisms by which they support erythropoiesis remain largely unclear due to our inability to identify and isolate EBI macrophages. Earlier efforts to identify surface markers for EBI macrophages have focused on the adhesion molecules which are involved in macrophage's interaction with erythroblasts. These include EMP, Vcam1, CD169, CD163, and αV integrin. Findings from these earlier studies suggested that combination of Vcam1, CD169, and mouse macrophage surface marker F4/80 can be used to define mouse EBI macrophage. We found that not all F4/80
