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

This study aimed to establish a rat model of thin endometrium and investigate the effects of super-activated platelet lysate (sPL) and umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) on the thin endometrium in rats. Thin endometrium models were induced by infusing absolute ethyl alcohol into the uteri of female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Rats were randomly assigned to several groups (Control, Model, Extracellular matrix (ECM) + sPL, ECM + cell, Gel + sPL, Gel + cell) and treated for 21 or 42 days. Histopathological structures and endometrial thickness were observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. ELISA was used to detect PDGF-BB, TGF-β1, E2 and FSH expression levels in serum. Furthermore, Western blot and immunohistochemical staining were used to assess the expression levels of cyclin D1, CD34, pan-keratin, cytokeratin 18, and vimentin in uterine tissue. HE staining revealed improvements in endometrial thickness, gland number, and blood vessels following treatment with sPL and UCMSCs in the thin endometrium rat model. Compared to the model group, ELISA results demonstrated that the PDGF-BB, E2, TGF-β1 and FSH serum in treatment groups returned to control levels. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot results indicated decreased keratin, cytokeratin, and vimentin expression levels in the model group, which were significantly increased by sPL perfusion or UCMSCs transplantation. Intrauterine perfusion of sPL and UCMSCs improves endometrium thickness, morphology, function, and repair capacity in rats with thin endometrium.
