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

purposeTo study the regulation and functions of oviductal glycoprotein 1 (OVGP1) in endometrial epithelial cells.

methodsExpression of OVGP1 in mouse endometrium during pregnancy and in the endometrial epithelial cell line (Ishikawa) was studied by immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and RT-PCR. Regulation of OVGP1 in response to ovarian steroids and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) was studied by real-time RT-PCR. OVGP1 expression was knockdown in Ishikawa cells by shRNA, and expression of receptivity associated genes was studied by real-time RT-PCR. Adhesion of trophoblast cell line (JAr) was studied by in vitro adhesion assays.

resultsOVGP1 was localized exclusively in the luminal epithelial cells of mouse endometrium at the time of embryo implantation. Along with estrogen and progesterone, hCG induced the expression of OVGP1 in Ishikawa cells. Knockdown of OVGP1 in Ishikawa cells reduced mRNA expression of ITGAV, ITGB3, ITGA5, HOXA10, LIF, and IL15; it increased the expression of HOXA11, MMP9, TIMP1, and TIMP3. Supernatants derived from OVGP1 knockdown Ishikawa cells reduced the adhesiveness of JAr cells in vitro. Expression of OVGP1 mRNA was found to be significantly lowered in the endometrium of women with recurrent implantation failure.

conclusionOVGP1 is specifically induced in the luminal epithelium at the time of embryo implantation where it regulates receptivity-related genes and aids in trophoblast adhesion.
