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

backgroundThe role of hormones in the transport mechanisms of human fetal membranes in pregnancy is unclear. Estrogens are essential hormones in pregnancy and they play an important role in the ion transport via membranes.

aimThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 17β-estradiol on transepithelial electrical resistance in the human amniochorion. MATERIAL AND

methodsSpecimens of human fetal membranes were obtained. 17β-estradiol, tamoxifen and their combination were added in an Ussing chamber. Transepithelial resistance was measured before and after the addition of each solution.

resultsAn increase in transepithelial resistance was seen after the addition of estradiol to both sides of the membranes. The effect was rapid with a peak at the 1st min of application and dose-depended. Tamoxifen, caused a similar effect but smaller in magnitude and shorter in duration. Tamoxifen in combination with estradiol inhibited only in part the action of estradiol.

conclusionsThese results suggest that estradiol induces a rapid increase of transepithelial resistance in human fetal membranes in vitro via a non-genomic pathway. It is possible those changes in transepithelial resistance play a role in the control of permeability of human amniochorion.
