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

Endocrine-disrupting chemicals such as benzophenone-3 (BP-3) can have severe consequences for human reproduction by affecting critical processes during pregnancy. To shed further light on potential harmful BP-3 actions, our current study addressed the impact of BP-3 on decidualization and trophoblast invasion. Decidualization was initiated in human endometrial stromal cells (THESC) upon treatment with a mixture of cAMP, progesterone, and estradiol. In parallel to hormonal treatment, the cells were exposed to different BP-3 concentrations ranging from 0.001 µM to 10 µM. The expression of decidualization and invasion markers was determined. Moreover, trophoblastic spheroids derived from JEG-3 cells were transferred to decidualized THESC after BP-3 exposure, and spheroid attachment and invasion were analyzed. Hormonal treatment successfully initiated decidualization in THESC, which was confirmed by increased prolactin levels and
