Presence of KREMEN receptors for DKK1 in the preimplantation bovine embryo.
Article in Reproduction & fertility, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 WNT inhibitory protein DKK1 has been shown to regulate development of the preimplantation embryo to the blastocyst stage. In cattle, DKK1 increases the number of trophectoderm cells that are the precursor of the placenta. DKK1 can affect cells by blocking WNT signaling through its receptors KREMEN1 and KREMEN2. Here it was shown that the mRNA for KREMEN1 and KREMEN2 decline as the embryo advances in development. Nonetheless, immunoreactive KREMEN1 was identified in blastocysts using Western blotting. DKK1 also decreased amount of immunoreactive CTNNB1 in blastocysts, as would be expected if DKK1 was signaling through a KREMEN-mediated pathway. Thus, it is likely that KREMEN1 functions as a receptor for DKK1 in the preimplantation bovine embryo.
