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 mechanism underlying the establishment of human endometrial receptivity remains elusive, constituting a significant obstacle to advancing our knowledge of female infertility. Via integrating high-resolution spatiotemporal and single-cell transcriptomic profiling and in situ sequencing, we construct a spatiotemporal atlas of human endometrial receptivity at single-cell resolution. Our study depicts detailed spatial molecular topography governing the opening and closing of human endometrial receptivity. Notably, the results indicate that stromal-specific NR2F1, CEBPD and epithelial-specific SGK1, KLF5 and ELF3 are closely associated with the opening of implantation window. Furthermore, cholesterol metabolism is found to promote ciliogenesis. Remarkably, we identify stroma- and epithelium-specific factors and unravel a previously unappreciated role of FGFs-FGFR2 signaling pathway mediating stroma-epithelium crosstalk in epithelial differentiation during the onset of receptivity. This spatiotemporally resolved receptivity code provides insights into the female fertility, with potential implications for the intervention of female infertility.
