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

Ex vivo expansion of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) requires the maintenance of a stemness state while cells are proliferating. This can be achieved via exposure to UM171 which leads to the degradation of chromatin modifiers and prevents the loss of key epigenetic marks. However, the chromatin landscape varies across populations within the hematopoietic system and the effect of UM171 on self-renewal and differentiation potential of different hematopoietic progenitor cells is less characterized. To address this, we use the CellTag barcoding approach to track the fate of individual stem and progenitor cells during in vitro expansion. We show that, in addition to its HSC self-renewing property, UM171 specifically modulates cell fate of a precursor common to erythroid, megakaryocytic, and mast cells in favor of self-renewal and a mast-bias differentiation trajectory. This differentiation bias can be driven by pro-inflammatory signaling pathways that are activated downstream of UM171 and results in an abundant mast cell population that can be transplanted as part of the graft to populate mice tissues in xenotransplantation studies.
