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

Despite increased understanding of the genomic landscape of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs), the pathological mechanisms underlying abnormal megakaryocyte (Mk)-stromal crosstalk and fibrotic progression in MPNs remain unclear. We conducted mass spectrometry-based proteomics on mice with Romiplostim-dependent myelofibrosis to reveal alterations in signaling pathways and protein changes in Mks, platelets, and bone marrow (BM) cells. The chemokine Platelet Factor 4 (PF4)/Cxcl4 was up-regulated in all proteomes and increased in plasma and BM fluids of fibrotic mice. High TPO concentrations sustained in vitro PF4 synthesis and secretion in cultured Mks, while Ruxolitinib restrains the abnormal PF4 expression in vivo. We discovered that PF4 is rapidly internalized by stromal cells through surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) to promote myofibroblast differentiation. Cxcl4 gene silencing in Mks mitigated the profibrotic phenotype of stromal cells in TPO-saturated co-culture conditions. Consistently, extensive stromal PF4 uptake and altered GAGs deposition were detected in Romiplostim-treated, JAK2
