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

abstractHematopoietic recovery after myeloablation plays a critical role in the survival of patients who receive chemotherapy or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Understanding the mechanisms underlying hematopoiesis helps identify the molecular and/or cellular determinants that could be targeted to enhance hematopoietic recovery. Although several mechanisms by which the plasminogen (Plg) activation system promotes hematopoietic recovery after myelosuppression have been reported, the specific role fibrinolysis plays in hematopoietic recovery is unclear. The current study employs 5-fluorouracil-mediated myeloablation in murine models and provides a clear demonstration of uniform extravascular fibrin deposits in the bone marrow (BM) niche upon myeloablation. Persistent fibrin deposits in Plg-deficient mice lead to failure of hematopoietic recovery. Genetic and pharmacological depletion of fibrinogen after myeloablation restored hematopoietic recovery, revealing the critical role fibrin plays in this process. Moreover, defective fibrinolysis led to delayed hematopoietic recovery via a mechanism that involves fibrin engagement with the major myeloid integrin αMβ2. Importantly, similar fibrin-rich marrow niches were also observed in human BM injury and failure states. The study identifies a novel molecular pathway that could be therapeutically targeted to enhance hematopoietic recovery after myeloablation.
