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

Chronic histiocytic intervillositis (CHI) is a placental lesion characterized by an inflammatory response, significantly influencing maternal and fetal outcomes. This study aims to develop a comprehensive morphologic atlas detailing the localization of fetal and maternal macrophages within the context of CHI. We employed immunohistochemical and multiplexing techniques to analyze placental samples, identifying expression patterns and spatial distribution of key macrophage markers, including CD68, CD163, CD14, and HLA-DR. The results revealed a marked accumulation of activated macrophages in both the intervillous space and villous stroma, with distinct differences in morphology and immunophenotype of fetal Hofbauer cells versus maternal macrophages. Our findings contribute to a better understanding of the immune landscape in CHI and provide a valuable resource for further research into placental immune dynamics. By establishing this morphologic atlas, we aim to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for affected pregnancies, thereby improving the diagnostic approach and making it more straightforward to recognize CHI histologically.
