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

Metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1) and its short form (MTA1s) regulate the function of estrogen receptors (ERs). Estrogens, via ERs, affect placental growth and fetal development, a process that may involve MTA1 signaling. Expression of MTA1, MTA1s, ERα, and ERβ genes and proteins in rat placentas was studied on 16, 19, and 21 days of gestation (dg). The ERβ messenger RNA decreased significantly toward the end of gestation, whereas its protein level increased in the nuclear fraction on 21 dg. Both MTA1 and MTA1s increased with gestation. Decidual, trophoblast giant, glycogen, and villous trophoblast cells expressed MTA1, ERα, and ERβ proteins on all dg with colocalization of MTA1 with ERα and ERβ in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Expression of MTA1 suggests a possible role in regulating placental functions; considering the repressive function of MTA1 on ERs, the expression of MTA1 suggests that placental cells may be less sensitive to estrogens during late pregnancy.
