Uterine epithelial cell estrogen receptor alpha-dependent and -independent genomic profiles that underlie estrogen responses in mice.

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.
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
Estrogens exert their activity through estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) to stimulate hypertrophy and hyperplasia in the uterus. A uterine epithelial ERalpha conditional knockout mouse model (Wnt7a(Cre+);Esr1(f/f) or cKO) demonstrated that ERalpha in the epithelial cells was dispensable for an initial uterine proliferative response to 17beta-estradiol (E2) but required for subsequent uterine biological responses. This study aimed to characterize the differential gene expression patterns induced by E2 in the presence or absence of epithelial ERalpha. RNA microarray analysis revealed that approximately 20% of the genes differentially expressed at 2 h were epithelial ERalpha independent, as they were preserved in the cKO uteri. This indicates that early uterine transcripts mediated by stromal ERalpha are sufficient to promote initial proliferative responses. However, more than 90% of the differentially expressed transcripts at 24 h were not regulated in the cKO, indicating that the majority of later transcriptional regulation required epithelial ERalpha, especially those involved in mitosis. This shows that loss of regulation of these later transcripts results in blunted subsequent uterine growth after 3 days of E2 treatment. Additionally, progesterone's ability to inhibit E2-induced epithelial cell proliferation was impaired, consistent with a uterine receptivity defect that contributes to cKO infertility. These transcriptional profiles correlate with our previously observed biological responses, in which the initial proliferative response is independent of epithelial ERalpha and thus dependent on stromal ERalpha, yet epithelial ERalpha is essential for subsequent tissue responsiveness.
