Mouse Surgical Model of Mechanical Uterine Injury and Subsequent Embryo Defects.

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
Uterine injury from procedures such as Cesarean sections (C-sections) often have severe consequences on subsequent pregnancies, leading to disorders such as uterine placenta previa, placenta accreta spectrum (PAS), and Cesarean scar pregnancy. With rates of C-section at ∼30% of deliveries in the US and projected to continue to climb, an understanding of the mechanisms by which these pregnancy disorders arise and opportunities for intervention are sorely needed. However, there are currently very few animal models of uterine injury and its subsequent impacts on maternal as well as in utero and postnatal fetal outcomes. Here, we describe a procedure for a novel model of surgically induced uterine injury in the genetically tractable laboratory mouse (Mus musculus). We describe preparatory steps for surgery, the induction of uterine injury itself, and post-surgical recovery. We then provide supporting information regarding downstream dissection of pregnant mice. Lastly, we include additional information regarding estrous cycle staging in order to perform surgeries and dissections at the relevant phase in non-pregnant mice. This procedure for incurring uterine injury in a mouse model presents an important step forward in understanding uterine damage and its associated pregnancy disorders. © 2024 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
