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

Background: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a disease associated with endometrial receptivity dysfunction. Retinoic acid receptor alpha (RARα) is an important protein in many biological processes, such as differentiation and development. However, the exact underlying mechanism whereby RARα affects RIF remains unknown. This study investigated RARα expression and its contribution in the mid-luteal phase endometria of patients with RIF. Methods: The expression levels of RARα and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) β in the endometria of the RIF and normal group were investigated using western blotting and immunohistochemistry. In Results: We found that the expression levels of RARα decreased in the mid-luteal endometria of RIF patients. After 4 days of decidualization induction Conclusion: A deficiency of RARα expression in the mid-luteal endometrium inhibits decidualization due to the downregulation of
