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

Endometrial regeneration is essential for reproductive cycles and pregnancies, allowing the endometrium to undergo estrogen-driven repair, growth, and renewal after menstruation and parturition. Epithelial cells lining the uterine cavity undergo apoptosis during estrous cycles, and remnant cells can quickly restore this lining through a process known as re-epithelialization. It is presumed that adult stem/progenitor cells in the uterine stroma also contribute to re-epithelialization. However, the specific cell type(s) and the underlying mechanisms have not been determined. Herein, we use genetic lineage tracing assays in mice to identify Nestin
