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

Calreticulin is a multifunctional protein found in the endoplasmic reticulum lumen that is important for calcium homeostasis and glycoprotein folding. Mutations in exon 9 of the CALR gene are the second most common genetic cause of myeloproliferative neoplasms. CALR-mutated megakaryocyte proliferation in myeloproliferative neoplasms involves cytokine-independent constitutive activation of JAK/STAT signaling caused by binding of mutant calreticulin to the thrombopoietin receptor. However, whether the partial or complete removal of wildtype calreticulin from the endoplasmic reticulum has additional effects on megakaryocyte biology is not clear. To explore the impact of calreticulin mutations independent of thrombopoietin receptor signaling we generated type 1-like CALR mutations in K-562 cells, which do not express the thrombopoietin receptor. We confirmed that the loss of endoplasmic reticulum-retention KDEL motif causes the majority of mutant calreticulin to be secreted from cells. The CALR mutated cells have higher endoplasmic reticulum free Ca
