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

Pregnancy is a complex and dynamic process, immune homeostasis at the maternal-fetal interface is one of the keys to a successful pregnancy and essential for fetal nutrient exchange and the establishment of immune tolerance. Healthy pregnant women with normally functioning immune systems can successfully maintain a semi-allogeneic fetus to full term without immune-mediated rejection, many immune cells including macrophages, NK cells, T cells, B cells and dendritic cells are involved in this process. In particular, macrophages play a vital role in the establishment of immune tolerance, infection prevention, spiral artery remodeling, and overall maternal and fetal health, due to their plasticity and diversity. However, environmental toxins like endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can impact macrophage function, leading to pregnancy-related conditions. This review explores the current knowledge of macrophages at the maternal-fetal interface, their roles in pregnancy, and how EDCs affect their polarization and function.
