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

Elevated hematocrit is associated with cardiovascular risk; however, the causality and mechanisms are unclear. The JAK2V617F (Jak2VF) mutation increases cardiovascular risk in myeloproliferative disorders and in clonal hematopoiesis. Jak2VF mice with elevated WBCs, platelets, and RBCs display accelerated atherosclerosis and macrophage erythrophagocytosis. To investigate whether selective erythroid Jak2VF expression promotes atherosclerosis, we developed hyperlipidemic erythropoietin receptor Cre mice that express Jak2VF in the erythroid lineage (VFEpoR mice). VFEpoR mice without elevated blood cell counts showed increased atherosclerotic plaque necrosis, erythrophagocytosis, and ferroptosis. Selective induction of erythrocytosis with low-dose erythropoietin further exacerbated atherosclerosis with prominent ferroptosis, lipid peroxidation, and endothelial damage. VFEpoR RBCs had reduced antioxidant defenses and increased lipid hydroperoxides. Phagocytosis of human or murine WT or JAK2VF RBCs by WT macrophages induced ferroptosis, which was prevented by the ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1. Liproxstatin-1 reversed increased atherosclerosis, lipid peroxidation, ferroptosis, and endothelial damage in VFEpoR mice and in Jak2VF chimeric mice simulating clonal hematopoiesis, but had no impact in controls. Erythroid lineage Jak2VF expression led to qualitative and quantitative defects in RBCs that exacerbated atherosclerosis. Phagocytosis of RBCs by plaque macrophages promoted ferroptosis, suggesting a therapeutic target for reducing RBC-mediated cardiovascular risk.
