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

In adult mammals, hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells reside in the bone marrow, in a specialized microenvironment called a "niche", which is composed of different cell types, including nerves. Although it is established that sympathetic nerves regulate hematopoiesis, little is known about the role of neural serotonin in bone marrow. The Drosophila hematopoietic organ, the lymph gland, is aligned along the aorta, which corresponds to the vascular niche. Here, we report that serotonin signaling in the vascular niche regulates the hematopoietic response to an immune challenge. The serotonin receptor 1B expressed in vascular niche cells, together with serotonin produced by neurons regulate the degradation of the extracellular matrix of the lymph gland and prevent its premature dispersal after an immune challenge. Serotonin signaling in aorta cells acts via JAK/STAT pathway activation. Our results provide novel insights into how vascular niche cells integrate neural information to regulate lymph gland immune stress hematopoiesis.
