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 examine the expression of MUC16 in the endometrium peri-implantation period in three different cohort studies.

methodsThis was a retrospective observational cohort study. A total of 245 participants were recruited in three separate cohort studies: (1) women with recurrent miscarriage (n = 50) and fertile controls (n = 29); (2) women who had high (n = 20) or normal (n = 20) progesterone on the day of hCG trigger in ovarian stimulation cycle for IVF; and (3) women who did (n = 95) or did not (n = 31) conceive following frozen embryo transfer in HRT cycles. All subjects had archived endometrial samples precisely taken on LH+7 in natural cycles, or hCG+6 in ovarian stimulation cycles, or P+5 in HRT cycles. The H-score (median, range) of MUC16 in the luminal epithelium and glandular epithelium was determined by using immunohistochemistry.

resultsThe median (range) of H-score of MUC16 in the luminal epithelium (1) in women with recurrent pregnancy loss was 23.7 (0-300), which was significantly (P < 0.05) lower than that of 118.4 (7.7-300) in fertile controls; (2) in women with elevated progesterone on the day of hCG administration (147.8, 18.0-230.1), significantly (P < 0.05) higher than that of women with normal progesterone (61.0, 2.3-205.3); (3) in women who conceived (23.1, 0-250.3), significantly (P < 0.001) lower than that in women who did not conceive (58.4, 0-300).

conclusionThe expression of MUC16 in all three cohort studies is consistent with it being an inhibitor of implantation.
