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

During vertebrate embryogenesis, hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) are believed to almost exclusively arise from hemogenic endothelial cells (ECs) of the dorsal aorta through endothelial-to-hematopoietic transition (EHT). It remains elusive whether HSCs can be generated by other tissues. Sclerotomal cells (SCs) in embryonic somites predominantly form vertebrae and ribs, and some SCs may also insert into aortic endothelia. Here we show that a subset of SCs directly enter the vascular lumen to become hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) in an EHT-independent way in both zebrafish and mouse embryos. The sclerotome-derived HSPCs (scHSPCs) contribute to various blood cells throughout the lifetime. The proportion of scHSPCs increases dramatically when endothelium hematopoiesis is defective. Thus, the sclerotomal hematopoiesis is evolutionarily conserved and would ensure the robustness of hematopoiesis.
