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

Hyperuricemia (HUA) is the second most common metabolic disease after diabetes and refers to a type of disease in which serum uric acid (SUA) levels are excessively high due to excessive production of uric acid (UA) or reduced metabolic capacity. To elucidate the effect of HUA on angiogenesis in endometrial decidualization, the authors investigated endometrial decidualization markers and angiogenesis factors in the decidua after abortion in women with high uric acid levels and the uterus of mice with high uric acid induced by purines on day 7.5 (D7.5) of gestation. Moreover, immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the diameter of the microvascular lumen and the density of the vessels. Real-time PCR and Western blot results showed that the expressions of prolactin (PRL) and decidua/trophoblast PRL-related protein prolactin family 8, subfamily a, member 2 (Prl8a2) in the decidua of patients with hyperuricemia and the pregnant uterus of high uric acid mice with D7.5 days of gestation were significantly reduced. Additionally, the diameter and density of the microvascular lumen were decreased by immunohistochemical staining of uterine CD34. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor a (VEGFA) in the endometrium was significantly decreased (P < 0.05). High UA can lead to endometrial decidualization damage and angiogenesis disorders in early pregnancy in humans and mice.
