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 aging is characterized by diminished stem cell regenerative capacity and an increased risk of hematologic dysfunction. We previously identified that the prostaglandin-degrading enzyme 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase (15-PGDH) regulates hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) activity. Here, we expand on this work and demonstrate that in aged mice: (1) 15-PGDH expression and activity remain conserved in the bone marrow (BM) and spleen, suggesting that it remains a viable therapeutic target in aging; (2) prolonged PGDH inhibition (PGDHi) significantly increases the frequency and number of phenotypic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells across multiple compartments, with transcriptional changes indicative of enhanced function; (3) PGDHi-treated BM enhances short-term hematopoietic recovery following transplantation, leading to improved peripheral blood output and accelerated multilineage reconstitution; and (4) PGDHi confers a competitive advantage in primary hematopoietic transplantation while mitigating age-associated myeloid bias in secondary transplants. Notably, these effects occur without perturbing steady-state blood production, suggesting that PGDHi enhances hematopoiesis under regenerative conditions while maintaining homeostasis. Our work identifies PGDHi as a translatable intervention to rejuvenate aged HSCs and mitigate hematopoietic decline.
