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: Endometrial-derived hydrogels are rich in extracellular matrix proteins as well as bioactive molecules that promote cell adhesion, proliferation, and angiogenesis. Objective: This study investigates the potential of recellularized human endometrial hydrogel, populated by mesenchymal cells, as a scaffold for mouse blastocyst implantation. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, we characterized the decellularization process of human endometrial tissue through morphological analysis, DNA quantification, and scanning electron microscopy. We then evaluated the morphology, ultrastructure, biocompatibility, biodegradation, and pH changes of the hydrogel incubated in phosphate-buffered saline. The hydrogel was recellularized with human endometrial mesenchymal cells, and mouse blastocysts were co-cultured on this recellularized hydrogel for 48 hr, observed via laser confocal scanning microscopy. Results: Morphological and ultrastructural examinations of the decellularized tissue revealed structures similar to native endometrium, while the absence of cells and nuclei, confirmed through morphological staining and DNA analysis, validated the success of the decellularization process. The hydrogel exhibited excellent biocompatibility according to the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazolyl-2)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay results, demonstrated an appropriate biodegradation rate in vitro, and showed no significant pH alteration. Mesenchymal cells successfully attached to the hydrogel scaffold, and mouse embryos adhered to and invaded the recellularized hydrogel. Conclusion: This novel implantation model, which integrates human endometrial mesenchymal cells, endometrial hydrogel, and mouse embryos, has significant implications for reproductive research and clinical applications. However, further investigation is necessary to fully explore and optimize its potential.
