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

backgroundMyometrium, the muscular wall of the uterus, is an active organ markedly remodeled during a woman's reproductive life, especially during pregnancy. Different studies using the 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine and side population methods in murine and human myometrium have suggested the presence of somatic stem cells in this tissue because of its remarkable regenerative capacity. Recently, our group has developed a surface-marker (Stro1/CD44)-specific approach to isolate and characterize myometrial somatic stem cells (SSCs) from humans and rats.

objectiveIn this study, we aimed to identify and localize the putative myometrial stem cell population in the murine uterus by using the specific surface markers, Nanog/CD44.

methodsUteri from OCT4-GFP transgenic mice at different early-life time points were analyzed via single and double immunohistochemistry to co-localize myometrial stem cell marker CD44 with other general stemmness markers, e.g., Nanog and Oct-4. Finally, we correlated the frequency of myometrial stem cells in vivo with the expression of sex steroid hormone receptors, estrogen receptor α (ERα), and progesterone receptors A and B (PR A&B).
