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

abstractTET2 is among the most commonly mutated genes in both clonal hematopoiesis and myeloid malignancies; thus, the ability to identify selective dependencies in TET2-deficient cells has broad translational significance. Here, we identify regulators of Tet2 knockout (KO) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) expansion using an in vivo CRISPR-Cas9 KO screen, in which nucleotide barcoding enabled large-scale clonal tracing of Tet2-deficient HSPCs in a physiologic setting. Our screen identified candidate genes, including Ncoa4, that are selectively required for Tet2 KO clonal outgrowth compared with wild type. Ncoa4 targets ferritin for lysosomal degradation (ferritinophagy), maintaining intracellular iron homeostasis by releasing labile iron in response to cellular demands. In Tet2-deficient HSPCs, increased mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate production correlates with increased cellular iron requirements and, in turn, promotes Ncoa4-dependent ferritinophagy. Restricting iron availability reduces Tet2 KO stem cell numbers, revealing a dependency in TET2-mutated myeloid neoplasms.
