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

Abstract Early growth response gene 1 (Egr1), a zinc finger transcriptional factor, plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and angiogenesis. Current data have shown that Egr1 is involved in follicular development, ovulation, luteinization and placental angiogenesis. However, the expression, regulation and function of Egr1 in mouse uterus during embryo implantation and decidualization are poorly understood. Here we showed that Egr1 was strongly expressed in the subluminal stroma surrounding the implanting blastocyst on day 5 of pregnancy. Injection of Egr1 siRNA into the mouse uterine horn could obviously reduce the number of implanted embryos and affect the uterine vascular permeability. Further study found that Egr1 played a role through influencing the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2), microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (Vegf), transformation related protein 53 (Trp53) and matrix metallopeptidase 9 (Mmp9) genes in the process of mouse embryo implantation. Growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) might direct the expression of Egr1 in the uterine stromal cells. Under in vivo and in vitro artificial decidualization, Egr1 expression was significantly decreased. Overexpression of Egr1 downregulated the expression of decidual marker decidual/trophoblast PRL-related protein (Dtprp) in the uterine stromal cells, while inhibition of Egr1 upregulated the expression of Dtprp under in vitro decidualization. Estrogen and progesterone could regulate the expression of Egr1 in the ovariectomized mouse uterus and uterine stromal cells. These results suggest that Egr1 may be essential for embryo implantation and decidualization.
