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 have examined the expression of MMP-2, TIMP-1, and TIMP-3 mRNA at the implantation site of rhesus monkeys during early stage of pregnancy using in situ hybridization and Northern blot analysis. The results indicate that MMP-2 mRNA was mainly localized in the chorinoic villi and epithelial plaque, suggesting that MMP-2 may be involved in the process of epithelial plaque and trophoblast invasion. TIMP-3 was specifically expressed in the cells around the spiral arteries and maternal-fetal interface. Therefore, TIMP-3 may be the main inhibitor that restricts the trophoblast invasion. The TIMP-1 mRNA was detected in trophoblast villi and maternal decidua; however, its distribution was not cell-specific, suggesting a general role in the protection of trophoblast villi and maternal decidua from proteolysis by the MMPs secreted by themselves.
