Eltrombopag increases the hematopoietic supporting ability of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells.

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
Background: Eltrombopag (EP) is a small molecule that acts directly on hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and megakaryocytes to stimulate the hematopoietic process. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) are key hematopoietic niche regulators. Objectives: We aimed to determine whether EP has any effect on MSC function and properties (especially on their hematopoietic-supporting ability) and if so, what changes (e.g. genome-wide transcriptomic alterations) are induced in MSC after EP treatment. Design/Methods: MSCs were isolated from 12 healthy donors and treated with 15 µM and 50 µM of EP for 24 h. The toxicity of the drug on MSCs and their differentiation ability were analyzed, as well as the transcriptomic profile, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and DNA damage and the changes induced in the clonogenic capacity of HSCs. Results: The results show that EP also modifies MSC functions, decreasing their adipogenic differentiation, increasing the expression of genes involved in hypoxia and other pathways related to oxygen homeostasis, and enhancing their ability to support hematopoiesis Conclusion: Our findings support the use of EP in cases where hematopoiesis is defective, despite its well-known direct effects on hematopoietic cells. Our findings suggest that further studies on the effects of EP on MSCs from patients with aplastic anemia are warranted.
