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

backgroundHuman infertility has become a serious and social issue all over the world, especially in developed countries. Numerous types of assisted reproductive technology have been developed and are widely used to treat infertility. However, pregnancy outcomes require further improvement. It is essential to understand the cross-talk between the uterus (mother) and the embryo (fetus) in pregnancy, which is a very complicated event.

methodsThe mammalian uterus requires many physiological and morphological changes for pregnancy-associated events, including implantation, decidualization, placentation, and parturition, to occur. Here is discussed recent advances in the knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying these reproductive events - in particular, embryonic implantation and decidualization - based on original and review articles. MAIN FINDINGS

resultsIn mice, embryonic implantation and decidualization are regulated by two steroid hormones: estrogen and progesterone. Along with these hormones, cytokines, cell-cycle regulators, growth factors, and transcription factors have essential roles in implantation and decidualization in mice.

conclusionRecent studies using the gene manipulation of mice have given considerable insight into the molecular mechanisms underlying embryonic implantation and decidualization. However, as most of the findings are based on mice, comparative research using different mammalian species will be useful for a better understanding of the species-dependent differences that are associated with reproductive events, including embryonic implantation.
