Choosing the source of healthy controls for studies on myeloid malignancies: all bone marrow cells are created equal, but some are more equal than others.

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 samples from discarded femoral heads are often used as healthy controls in studies investigating the in vitro characteristics of cells from patients with hematologic malignancies. Since patient samples are usually derived from iliac crest aspirates, this carries the risk that the properties of the cells from both sources might be different due to the site and method of harvesting. Comparing BM cells from iliac crest aspirates and femoral heads from age-matched healthy donors, we show that, while mesenchymal stromal cells have indistinguishable properties between both sources, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) from femoral heads show a considerable proliferative advantage in vitro. These data therefore suggest that experiments comparing leukemic cells from the iliac crest to healthy HSPC obtained from femoral heads should be interpreted with caution.
