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

We evaluated the contribution of organic anion transporting polypeptide 2A1 (OATP2A1/SLCO2A1), a high-affinity carrier for prostaglandins (PGs), to the parturition process. At gestational day (GD) 15.5, OATP2A1 is co-localized with 15-hydroxy-PG dehydrogenase in the mouse placental junctional zone and facilitates PG degradation by delivering PGs to the cytoplasm. Slco2a1 (+/-) females mated with Slco2a1 (-/-) males frequently showed elevated circulating progesterone at GD18.5 and delayed parturition. Progesterone receptor inhibition by RU486 treatment at GD18.5 blocked the delay of parturition. In the junctional zone, PGE
