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

Trophinin is an intrinsic membrane protein expressed in trophectoderm cells of embryos and in uterine epithelial cells. Trophinin potentially mediates apical cell adhesion at human embryo implantation sites through trophinin-trophinin binding in these two cell types. Trophinin-mediated cell adhesion activates trophectoderm cells for invasion, whereas the effect of adhesion on maternal side is not known. We show that addition of GWRQ peptide, a previously established peptide that mimics trophinin-mediated cell adhesion, to human endometrial epithelial cells expressing trophinin induces their apoptosis. FAS involvement was excluded, as GWRQ did not bind to FAS, and FAS knockdown did not alter GWRQ-induced apoptosis. Immunoblotting analyses of protein kinases revealed an elevation of PKC-d protein in GWRQ-bound endometrial epithelial cells. In the absence of GWRQ, PKC-d associated with trophinin and remained cytoplasmic, but after GWRQ binding to the trophinin extracellular domain, PKC-d became tyrosine phosphorylated, dissociated from trophinin, and entered the nucleus. In PKC-d knockdown endometrial cells, GWRQ did not induce apoptosis.
