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

The perfect synchronization of maternal immune-endocrine mechanisms and those of the fetus is necessary for a successful pregnancy. In this report, decidual immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface were detected that expressed TIGIT (T cell immunoreceptor with Ig and ITIM domains), which is a co-inhibitory receptor that triggers immunological tolerance. We generated recombinant TIGIT-Fc fusion proteins by linking the extracellular domain of TIGIT and silent Fc fragments. The treatment with TIGIT-Fc of human decidual antigen presenting cells (APCs), the decidual dendritic cells (dDCs), and decidual macrophages (dMϕs) increased the production of interleukin 10 and induced the decidua APCs to powerfully polarize the decidual CD4
