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 uterus is vital for successful reproduction in mammals, and two different types of epithelia (luminal and glandular) are essential for embryo implantation and pregnancy establishment. However, the essential cellular and molecular factors and pathways governing postnatal epithelium maturation, determination, and differentiation in developing uterus are yet to be elucidated. Here, the epithelium of the neonatal mouse uterus was isolated and subjected to single-cell transcriptome (scRNA-seq) analysis. Both the undifferentiated epithelium and determined luminal epithelium were heterogeneous and contained several different cell clusters based on single-cell transcription profiles. Substantial gene expression differences were evident as the epithelium matured and differentiated between postnatal days 1 to 15. Two new glandular epithelium-expressed genes (
