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

The endometrium is receptive to embryo implantation only for a short period in each reproductive cycle: development of receptivity requires alterations in endometrial gene expression. Calbindin (CaBP)-d9k and CaBP-d28k are related proteins containing EF hand motifs that have a high affinity for Ca2+. We previously demonstrated that endometrial expression of CaBP-d9k mRNA is highly regulated during implantation in the mouse. This project aimed to determine the temporal and spatial expression of both CaBP proteins during early pregnancy and to establish whether they are necessary for blastocyst implantation. CaBP-d28k protein, like CaBP-d9k, was up-regulated in the endometrial epithelium just before implantation but disappeared at implantation sites after attachment. By the judicious intrauterine injection of morpholino oligonucleotides (MO) against CaBP-d9k into WT and CaBP-d28k null mice just before implantation, we selectively eliminated one or both CaBPs from the uterine epithelium. Implantation was blocked only when both CaBP-d9k and CaBP-d28k were absent: treated WT mice and untreated CaBP-d28k null mice were fertile. Furthermore, the effect on implantation was highly dependent on the timing of injection of MO. This report examining the function of implantation-related genes in the uterus using MO demonstrates that this technique is a highly effective means to specifically target uterine proteins in vivo. This study provides evidence for an absolute requirement for CaBPs during the early phase of embryo implantation, and thus that regulation of Ca2+ availability in the uterine environment of the implanting embryo is critical for successful implantation.
