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

Uterine gland development and function is essential for reproduction and women's health, yet the epithelial cell states and signaling interactions that govern gland fate specification are not well understood. Here, integration of single cell and spatial transcriptomics with organoid culture, lineage tracing, and genetic and hormonal perturbation models were used to define mechanisms regulating postnatal uterine epithelial differentiation. A developmentally restricted epithelial plasticity state was identified that precedes luminal and glandular cell lineage segregation and is accompanied by dynamic reorganization of stromal-epithelial communication during uterine differentiation. Pseudotime analysis revealed progressive acquisition of gland-associated programs, including
