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

We tested the ability of a constitutively activated erythropoietin receptor [EpoR(R129C)] to alter the growth requirements of primary hematopoietic precursors that terminally differentiate in culture. Two recombinant retroviruses expressing EpoR(R129C), spleen focus-forming virus (SFFVc-EpoR) and myeloproliferative sarcoma virus (MPSVcEpoR), were used to infect fetal liver cells that served as a source of hematopoietic progenitors. Methylcellulose cultures were incubated in the absence of any added growth factors or in combination with selected growth factors. EpoR(R129C) completely abrogated the Epo requirement of erythroid colony-forming units to form erythrocytes after 2-5 days in culture and did not interfere with the differentiation program of these cells. In the absence of added growth factors EpoR(R129C) did not enhance erythroid burst-forming unit development. In contrast to experiments in heterologous cell lines, EpoR(R129C) did not render progenitor cells independent of interleukin 3 or granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). However, when progenitors were cultured with added steel factor, but not with interleukin 3 or GM-CSF, EpoR(R129C) augmented the growth and differentiation of erythroid bursts, mixed erythroid/myeloid, and granulocyte/macrophage (GM) colonies. Furthermore, both viruses were capable of expressing EpoR(R129C) in erythroid, mixed erythroid/myeloid, and GM colonies. Thus an aberrantly expressed and constitutively activated EpoR can stimulate proliferation of some GM progenitors. The ability of EpoR(R129C) to abrogate the Epo requirement of primary hematopoietic cells, but not the requirement for other cytokines, is consistent with the induction of erythroblastosis in vivo.
