Decidualization potential of endometrial mesenchymal stem cells and their role in reproductive health.
Review in Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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 establishment of a successful pregnancy depends on proper embryo development and coordinated endometrial differentiation, particularly through the process of decidualization. Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), especially those derived from endometrial tissue (eMSCs) and menstrual fluid (MenSCs), have emerged as critical players in regulating decidualization, trophoblast invasion, angiogenesis, and immune modulation at the maternal-fetal interface. These cells exhibit potent immunoregulatory functions, underscoring their role in establishing a tolerant yet responsive environment for implantation along with promoting angiogenesis and stromal regeneration. Dysfunctional MSCs have been linked to impaired decidualization and pregnancy disorders, including preeclampsia (PE) and fetal growth restriction. Evidence indicates that MenSCs from women with a history of PE exhibit diminished angiogenic potential, impaired trophoblast invasion support, and altered cytokine secretion, associating these alterations to disease pathogenesis. Similarly, aberrant eMSCs contribute to endometriosis by supporting ectopic implantation, impaired decidualization, and enhanced migration.Collectively, these findings highlight the central role of endometrial- and menstrual-derived MSCs in both reproductive success and pathology. They also emphasize their potential as diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets in obstetrics and gynecology. In this review, we summarize current knowledge on the role of endometrial- and menstrual-derived MSCs in pregnancy establishment and related complications, and discuss their emerging promise as diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies in reproductive medicine.
