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

There is increasing evidence linking in utero infection and inflammation to preterm birth. Many commensal urogenital tract microorganisms, including the Mycoplasmas and Ureaplasmas, are commonly detected in association with preterm birth. Using an ovine model of sterile fetal inflammation, we demonstrated previously that the fetal skin generates a robust inflammatory response following in utero exposure to lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coli. The fetal skin's response to colonization of the amniotic fluid by viable microorganisms remains unstudied. We hypothesised that in utero infection with Ureaplasma parvum serovar 3 would induce a proinflammatory response in the fetal skin. We found that (1) cultured fetal keratinocytes (the primary cellular constituent of the epidermis) respond to U. parvum exposure in vitro by increasing the expression of the chemotactant monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) but not interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8, or tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); (2) the fetal skin's response to 7 days of U. parvum exposure is characterized by elevated expression of MCP-1, TNF-α, and IL-10; and (3) the magnitude of inflammatory cytokine/chemokine expression in the fetal skin is dependent on the duration of U parvum exposure. These novel findings provide further support for the role of the fetal skin in the development of fetal inflammation and the preterm birth that may follow.
