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 tolerance of the semi-allogeneic fetus by the maternal immune system is an eternal topic of reproductive immunology for ensuring a satisfactory outcome. The maternal-fetal interface serves as a direct portal for communication between the fetus and the mother. It is composed of placental villi trophoblast cells, decidual immune cells, and stromal cells. Decidual immune cells engage in maintaining the homeostasis of the maternal-fetal interface microenvironment. Furthermore, growing evidence has shown that decidual macrophages play a crucial role in maternal-fetal tolerance during pregnancy. As the second largest cell population among decidual immune cells, decidual macrophages are divided into two subtypes: classically activated macrophages (M1) and alternatively activated macrophages (M2). M2 polarization is critical for placentation and embryonic development. Cytokines, exosomes, and metabolites regulate the polarization of decidual macrophages, and thereby modulate maternal-fetal immunotolerance. Explore the initial relationship between decidual macrophages polarization and maternal-fetal immunotolerance will help diagnose and treat the relevant pregnancy diseases, reverse the undesirable outcomes of mothers and infants.
