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

Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM), characterized by the loss of two or more consecutive pregnancies, is a significant challenge in reproductive medicine. While immunological dysregulation is increasingly recognized as a key contributor, the role of innate immunity, particularly neutrophils, remains underexplored. Understanding neutrophil-driven immune mechanisms may provide novel diagnostic and therapeutic insights for RM. Methods: We integrated bulk transcriptomic datasets from RM, autoimmune diseases, and decidua single-cell RNA sequencing data. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and enriched pathways were identified, and intercellular communication was analyzed using CellChat. Key genes (KGs) were validated through ROC analysis, nomogram modeling, and experimental validation in trophoblast cells. Results: Single-cell profiling revealed increased neutrophil proportions and distinct activation states in RM. Neutrophils exhibited a TNF-α-driven polarized phenotype with upregulated oxidative stress and antigen presentation. Intercellular communication analysis identified the APP-CD74 axis as a key signaling pathway. CXCL1 and related genes were consistently upregulated and showed strong diagnostic performance. Molecular docking identified potential therapeutic compounds targeting CXCL1, and Conclusions: Neutrophil-driven immune dysregulation, with TNF-α-polarized neutrophils and APP-CD74 signaling, contributes to RM pathogenesis. CXCL1 and related genes serve as promising biomarkers, offering new opportunities for early diagnosis and therapeutic intervention.
