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

Previous studies have shown that telocytes are found in a variety of tissues. Here, we report the presence of telocytes in the human endometrium. In addition, telocytes were isolated from the rat endometrium and cultured. Immunohistochemistry was performed in vitro and in vivo. Cultured cells showed that telocytes expressed CD34, and similar results were found in the uterine tissue. In both species, telocytes also stained positive for vimentin and connexin 43. Telopodes were observed connecting cell colonies and connecting distant cells. Our findings suggest that telocytes may have a role in cell-to-cell communication over short and long distances within the endometrium.
