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

Mitochondrial metabolism plays a central role in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology. Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is pivotal in controlling HSC self-renewal and differentiation. Herein, we discuss recent evidence suggesting that NADPH generated in the mitochondria can influence the fate of HSCs. Although NADPH has multiple functions, HSCs show high levels of NADPH that are preferentially used for cholesterol biosynthesis. Endogenous cholesterol supports the biogenesis of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are essential for maintaining HSC properties. We also highlight the significance of EVs in hematopoiesis through autocrine signaling. Elucidating the mitochondrial NADPH-cholesterol axis as part of the metabolic requirements of healthy HSCs will facilitate the development of new therapies for hematological disorders.
