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

introductionChemokine receptor expression by human trophoblast and other placental cells have important implications for understanding the regulation of placental growth, development, and their role in maternofetal HIV transmission. CXCR7, now a deorphanized G protein coupled receptor that has been recently shown to bind to the ligands ITAC and CXCL12 has been proposed to act as a co-receptor for HIV-1, HIV-2, and SIV strains. The differential expression of CXCR7 in the human placenta is not yet reported.

methodsThe expression of CXCR7 was studied in 45 different human placental tissues, of which 20 were from early placental tissues (8-10 week old) obtained from medically terminated pregnancies and 25 were placenta from normal term deliveries.

resultsImmunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis revealed a greater expression of CXCR7 in term human placenta as compared to the early stage. This was further confirmed by real-time PCR.

conclusionOur study reveals, for the first time, the differential expression of CXCR7 in early (8-10 weeks) and term human placenta. The precise role of CXCR7 in the human placenta needs to be determined. HIV vertical transmission is reported to occur mainly during the end stages of pregnancy. Our finding of increased CXCR7 expression in the term human placenta therefore warrants future studies to assess its role in the vertical transmission of HIV-1.
