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

Hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) maintain homeostasis of the blood system by balancing proliferation and differentiation. Many extrinsic signals in the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment that regulate this balance are still unknown. We report gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolite produced in the BM as a regulator of HSPCs. Deletion of the genes encoding the glutamate decarboxylase enzymes (Gad1 and Gad2) that produce GABA in either B lineages or endothelial cells (ECs) led to a slight reduction in BM HSPCs but not GABA levels. However, simultaneous blockade of GABA production from both hematopoietic cells and ECs resulted in a greater reduction of HSPCs and a significant reduction of BM GABA levels. Lower GABA levels in the BM altered the gene expression profile of HSPCs, with expression reduced for proliferation-associated genes and increased for B lineage genes. Our findings suggest GABA from multiple sources coordinates to regulate HSPC activity.
