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 pregnant uterus is an immunologically rich organ, with dynamic changes in the inflammatory milieu and immune cell function underlying key stages of pregnancy. Recent studies have implicated dysregulated expression of the interleukin-1 (IL-1) family cytokine, IL-33, and its receptor, ST2, in poor pregnancy outcomes in women, including recurrent pregnancy loss, preeclampsia, and preterm labor. How IL-33 supports pregnancy progression in vivo is not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that maternal IL-33 signaling critically regulates uterine tissue remodeling and immune cell function during early pregnancy in mice. IL-33-deficient dams exhibit defects in implantation chamber formation and decidualization, and abnormal vascular remodeling during early pregnancy. These defects coincide with delays in early embryogenesis, increased resorptions, and impaired fetal and placental growth by late pregnancy. At a cellular level, myometrial fibroblasts, and decidual endothelial and stromal cells, are the main IL-33
