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 mammalian uterus contains glands in the endometrium that develop only or primarily after birth. In the mouse, endometrial glands govern post implantation pregnancy establishment via regulation of blastocyst implantation, stromal cell decidualization, and placental development. Here, we describe a new uterine glandular epithelium (GE) specific Cre recombinase mouse line that is useful to study endometrial gland development and function. Utilizing CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, improved Cre recombinase (iCre) was inserted into the endogenous C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 15 (Cxcl15) gene. Cxcl15 mRNA, Cxcl15 protein, and Cxcl15-iCre recombinase activity were specific to the developing GE of the uterus. Cxcl15-iCre mice were crossed with floxed Foxa2 mice to conditionally delete Foxa2 specifically in the glands of the neonatal mouse uterus. This conditional deletion of Foxa2 in the developing neonatal uterus resulted in adult mice that lacked Foxa2 in the GE of the uterus, and the adult mice were infertile. The studies described here establish that Cxcl15-iCre mice are a valuable resource to elucidate and explore mechanisms regulating the development and function of glands in the uterus.
