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

Purpose: Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is the most common cause of uterine infertility. This study aims to evaluate whether platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatment can stimulate damaged endometrium regeneration in rats. Methods: First, hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and ELISAs were used to evaluate the microstructure of PRF. Then, mechanical damage was used to establish an IUA rat model. A total of 40 SD female rats were randomized to three groups: PRF transplantation group, IUA group, and sham group. Rats were sacrificed at 3, 7, and 14 days and uteruses were obtained for further analysis. Finally, functional and histological recovery of the damaged endometrium was analyzed by pregnancy test, HE staining, Masson's staining, and immunohistochemistry. Results: PRF has two distinct zones, platelets and fibrin zone. Long and narrow fibrin fibers interconnected with each other and formed a three-dimensional, flexible, and elastic structure; platelet aggregates were trapped in fibrin fibers, and each platelet is associated with several fibrin fibers. PRF exudates promoted endometrial stromal cell proliferation and migration Conclusion: Intrauterine administration of PRF was demonstrated to be effective in preventing IUA and stimulating damaged endometrium regeneration in rats. This study not only provided a promising method for its potential in endometrial regeneration in women who suffer from uterine infertility but also may prevent IUA after intrauterine surgery in clinical cases.
