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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF) and control group in terms of the associations between p16-positive senescent cells and certain types of immune cells in human endometrium during the mid-luteal phase

methodsImmunohistochemical staining was performed in 116 endometrial biopsies taken from 57 women presenting RIF, and control group of 59 women who became pregnant after the first intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Endometrial tissue sections were stained immunohistochemically for p16 (Senescent cells), CD4 (T-helpers), CD8 (T-killers), CD14 (Monocytes), CD68 (Macrophages), CD56 (Natural killers), and CD79α (B-cells). The percentage of positively stained cells for each marker was calculated by HALO image analysis software. The quantity and the relationship between senescent cells and immune cells were assessed and compared between the two groups.

resultsThe correlation coefficient was highest between senescent cells and CD4+ cells and was lowest between senescent cells and CD14+ cells in RIF women, similarly to the control group. However, most of the observed correlations among senescent and immune cells weaken notably or disappear in the RIF group. When comparing senescent cell-to-immune cell quantitative ratios, only p16+/CD4+ cell ratio was significantly higher in RIF women as compared with patients from the control group.

conclusionOur study indicates that the quantity of senescent cells in human endometrium during the mid-luteal phase has the strongest association with the amount of T helpers. Moreover, the specificity of this association might have an important impact on the occurrence of RIF.
